In response to the latest questioner, Dear Tex has this to say.
Dear Uncomfortable in Uranus,
Let me begin by explaining the heights of stupidity reached by your idiotic attempt at a question. First, is it a requirement that anyone has a gay friend? Is it just a requirement that they have a gay friend before they make any humor about gays? Do I need to go find me a gay man and hug him to show my support before I make such jokes? Before I make jokes about Al-Qaeda, must I also go out and find me a terrorist to hug? I haven't met Hillary Clinton, but I make jokes about her. Just as many joke about George Bush but have never met the guy. I guess we need to tell every one who has an opinion on homosexuality to run out and make a gay friend right away! We better not have an opin'ing going on with a gay friend on our shoulder!
Now, to get to the meat of the question... excuse me for saying meat, it may be considered a slap at homosexuals. Let me assure you, I did not attend to slap my meat at homosexuals. I digress. I was saying that to answer the heart of the question, I have had a homosexual friends. Unfortunately for you, none of them followed me to Maryland, so I can not give you their names and numbers. So sad.
In addition, they also were homosexual friends with a sense of humor. I know its hard to understand this humor bit, but they have it. In fact, I would venture to say the above would have been quite funny to them. You see, they would understand the classic lyrics reflect a euphemism for what men are after in a woman. The rub is it can not apply so easily to anything else for them, yet they enjoyed those same lyrics in their youths. After all, the song would lose its rythmic enjoyment if the lyrics were changed to "he's my hershey highway guy" or any other set of words. So, the workaround has been discovered above, and they can also want their cherry pie.
So, take the stick out of your ass (oops, that could have been a homosexual reference, too, but I assure you it is just a figure of speech), step off the PC train, and laugh at some simple minded humor. If you are straight and made this comment, maybe I need to ask you in return, "Have you had any gay friends? I don't think so."
YOUR PAL,
FromTexas
