[Histonet] Response to humor differences, etc.

[Joe Nocito]

moody? Who's moody? I'm not moody! Who said that? I'm not misunderstood. I'm 
misinterpreted. I'm not hated. I'm unloved. We're not going down that 
British-American road thing again are we? I mean ,didn't we settle our 
differences in 1776 and again in 1812?  Isn't this how wars start? Not that 
I want another war. Am I rambling? Geez, is it Friday yet?
