Out On a Limb

Ok I am going to trot this one out once again not knowing if it will be better received than When it flopped in Peoria. I love to hear people laugh.I love to have a part in making people laugh.Sometimes I get carried away in that pursuit. Once while talking on the phone to my oldest sister and hearing her little giggle I retold a joke my brother the crass master had told. Granted it was borderline yet bizarre enough that it would not offend I believed You be the judge......Hey Deloris I said did you hear about that guy that died while eating fresh mountain oysters?No,in a voice of concern she said. Yeah,seems the hog drug him through a barbed wire fence............silence.......more silence Yet still more s....... well you get the picture. I don't consider myself to be a heathen but then this stuff happens. Don't know exactly what she found off color about it.Feel free to clue me in.I never asked her about it as her infinite silence was all the chastising I can handle in that regard.So shoot me a line kids,Set me straight. Should I cull this one for good?
