i don't disagree that it may be uncomfortable for you to hear even the word 'rape'. but can you really expect not to? would you be willing to lay off every topic that makes any one of us uncomfortable here? if I told you that the term 'heart attack' gives me pause, would you refrain from using it? if topics involving someone cheating on their spouse cause painfull associations for a dwellar, should we all stay away from jokes about it?

besides, spex's comment wasn't even a joke about rape, really. it was a word joke. you could have substituted any of the other words from that quote, and it would have been funny. and it WAS a quote. it's not like he really enjoys raping people.

if i seem low to you at the moment, you might consider riding a shorter horse.
