When I first heard this joke (1948), it gave me a good laugh :-D :-D :-D

In the context of it being an American joke (which it was, passed round by GIs in WW2), in the context of it being a state where age of consent was 14, in the Bible Belt, it was :-D :-D :-D I thought at the age of 3.

But hardly :-D :-D :-D in context in which it was presented in Opening Post to supposedly mature and discenrning adults. Gedda life, if you found that joke amusing. :-P

So wrong on so many levels:
1. Age of consent is 16. This was a criminal act and should be judged accordingly.
2. Any chemist is allowed to sell just one. He just had to split the pack with a pair of scissors.
3. Fifteen-year old should be spelt "fifteen-year-old"
4. Pharmacist is not a word we use that often. Round here, we say chemist.
5. How many families have a meal together today or say grace? He would have been watching TV with a tray, eating his chips with right hand with his Wii in his left.

Some may be amused by possible child abuse. And no, I did not report it.

"Genes.co.za................is not responding",
" there is a problem with the webpage, IE is looking for a solution,....recover webpage?"
have to wait till the ads have loaded before I can scroll the page.......
