    I was bored, wanted to see if I could come up with a half-reasonable explanation for her statement, and that was the first thing that came to mind. Sorry if it caused you any annoyance, Mr. Data.

      There is no reasonable explanation. It would rightly be seen as misogynistic if you flipped it round using female examples.

      Hey, I’m not gonna flame you for a bad joke. Everyone makes jokes that don’t land how they expected.

      But some joke topics are like hair-trigger explosives and can’t be handled carelessly. Although this was more like a cherry bomb.
