Disclaimer - Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the disclaimer! That's right,
the disclaimer. This American apple pie institution known as parental
discretion will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm from this email that
might actually make you think and will also insult your intelligence at the
same time. So protect your family. This email contains explicit depictions of
things which are real. These real things are commonly known as life. So, if it
sounds sarcastic, don't take it seriously, if it sounds dangerous, do not try
this at home or at all, and if it offends you, just don't read it.

Well, just for the records then, I'm sarcastic most of the time.  In a fun
way, of course =)
