Apologies to Richard Dawkins, whose attempt at humor obviously went over my head. The ever-plug-happy Anagrysis assures me that the dear doctor was kidding.
It's a long-standing policy of mine to defend people's right to make jokes I don't get and don't think are very funny. Also, as Dawkins is British, I can only assume that had I heard him, rather than read him, I might have better understood his purpose. Inflection goes a long way. On the other hand, Brits can be very good at straight-humor, so maybe I would have remained unenlightened either way.
Sorry again, Dick. My bad.
Edit: I leave the question as to whether Dawkins' humor is effective, appropriate, or funny in your hands.
(Someone should really tell Jewish Atheist.)
