Skeptic, I was making ready to weigh in on your behalf, because I think "bullets to the head' is, at minimum, pretty bad taste and I can understand offense being taken at that remark, even were it intended as humor, and recognized as such. Lots of humor is intended to offend.
But this literalist comment is ridiculous. REALLY ridiculous.
