Richard … please.
If you’re going to tell that joke in the subject line, don’t shirk from the implications of the punch line.
And if you must shrink from it, find another joke.
It’s like eliding profanity in writing. Say it or don’t say it. But don’t kinda say it, as if anybody over age 10 upon seeing “f**k” won’t mentally fill in the “u” and the “c.”
Sorry to leave you as an unsatisfied reader today, Victor. OTOH, I do elide profanity, usually down to one letter and some dashes.
