1. Launching missiles at Israel isn't the problem that the Houthis can cause.

If the Houthis disrupt shipping in another strait is the problem that the Houthis can cause.

They haven't done that yet.

2. I'm guessing our adversaries are viewing them as

Yemen-aide

3. We beat down the Houthis pretty badly,

President Biden bombed the hell out of them. They are weakened for sure but still relevant.

5. Only takes a few drones to hit an oil tanker in the Red Sea

And then ALL of Saudi Arabia's oil is bottled up and oil hits $200/barrel

4. OK, I know you were expecting this, so here it comes

8. Nothing but appreciation for your pounding!

No Kings Day is the penultimate time to let it all hang out!

9. Ok....it's inappropriate, but

you still made me laugh....a little, and I'm ashamed of myself.

But that was funny. In a dark, gallows-humor kind of way.

10. I remain puzzled

how you see this as inappropriate. It was a quick play on words. No dark humor implied.

11. Generally, I suspect that anything I laugh at

is inappropriate in some way...since people where I live (Iowa, small town) outside of my husband and kids never seem to laugh at anything I find funny.

They just give me a weird, disapproving look.

My middle son moved to Wisconsin last year (where DH and I are from) and he says he loves it there as people don't look at him like he's grown a second head when he makes a quip or comment...they just laugh or groan.

So, maybe it's that people here are not accustomed to humor.

Long explanation, but I've been here for 25 years and we're still "new people" in town because we didn't attend elementary or even high school here.

Long explanation for my suspicion that anything I laugh at must be inappropriate.

But yeah, that was funny.

12. Wow, quite a real situational reason

for how you perceive things. Don't let the citizenry warp you. Your humor instincts are sound.

6. Did anyone mention

7. The problem is if they choke off the Bab el-Mandab strait
