Wow, I couldn't disagree more with the proctor's stance on this one. |

Benny's been around forever, has been involved in many jokes and |
| 31 |
discussion, and I'm fully confident that he is perfectly capable of |
| 32 |
telling the difference between that which is a joke and that which is |
| 33 |
not. |

Really, he just felt he would take a quote out of context with the |
| 36 |
intention of starting a flamewar. Don't play the "people can't tell |
| 37 |
the difference" card on this one. |
