I had hesitated to make my post but (and I actually did this) in my study of what makes things funny, often fear and defensiveness are a basis for humor.

The worst possible thing I can imagine (well one of the worst, along with being alone naked in a sauna with Tariskatt and the door is locked) is having a child born with any kind of a problem like this.

I seriously regret making the alleged joke I made, and apologize to anyone who might have been offended. Hell, I'm offended, and it was relatively mild.
