Sorry shed, I hope my comment regarding my profession and place of employment didn't come across as patronising, because it wasn't meant that way. I try not to judge people based around the profession they choose. It was simply meant to highlight that I have a background in this stuff.

Anyway, I'll leave our conversation there, because, a bit like a joke that you need to explain, it obviously wasn't a very relational "Why is it?" question.
