45. It was tongue-in-cheek, so to speak.

My sig line is a subtle reference to what I think about the 'purity' police, and had you followed the link I provided you would have observed that a poster who was pounced upon for using the term 'hag' stated that maybe DU can post a syllabus of offensive terms, to which I responded with "It's just too bad we're not able to run it by Lenny Bruce and George Carlin first."

I also support and post in Rhiannon's weekly Real Time with Bill Maher OP.

So for someone like me, this place can get a bit stuffy from time-to-time.
