Yes, I was. Your reply again reminded me that perception of humour is SO different in the U.S. and Europe. Of course it was a joke.
I am also thinking of the 6067 story as a joke, where someone wrote on ebay that this set was discontinued because it promoted
drinking. When I read that for the first time I actually LOLROTFL.... and I still think of it as VERY funny. Um, I guess I have been
the only one who thought of it as a joke.....
