and the one I got was too 8-) ( note that I assume that all these were 
people who extracted it from the zip file posted to  alt.ascii-art  and

These were my funny bits. They are mine. If anyone is caught displaying my 
funny bits in public, I will be pretty annoyed. My funny bits are not designed
to be offesive, but obviously there are people out there who will find them
offensive, and as such, I feel I should appologise in advance.
