Hes known me for more than twenty years

I told my friend about my post regarding Yo Momma jokes and the death of my mother.

He said, "You know, if I didn't know you better, I'd think that you were having trouble dealing with your mom's death, and your comments are just a way of masking your pain."

"But you know that's not the case.  Right?" I asked.

"Of course not," he replied.  "You just like making people uncomfortable."
