[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 158673, member: 2217"] This sort of relates back to Jeff's Mustang humour and the responses it got.... Just sharing my outlook (right or wrong) on this (or actually most), types of humour. [I]"A Ford guy sent this to Jeff.... It is funny. Everyone has to relax and take the fun out of something like this."
