Again, no. For some reason, you don’t seem to understand he could have been offended for a plethora of reasons, TaxGuy. Maybe everytime he asks for a light he hears that joke and is sick of it. Maybe he thought you unfairly assumend he tokes up because of his age. Maybe he just didn’t like the idea of you making a joke at his expense.
OK, JuanitaTech, I gotcha ya now. 
thanks.
Gotcha? Gotcha? You just had to add that slang word there, didn’t you?
How about a really inappropriate statement I made a few weeks ago: At work we were deciding what kind of pizza to order for a staff meeting. I was surveying what people like and hate and everyone said they hated anchovies. I told this one woman, “Why do people bother to say that? I’ve never known anyone who liked anchovies.” And she said, “The only person I ever knew who ordered anchovies was ‘John.’” (name changed) “John” was her son-in-law who committed suicide a year ago.
Then this is what popped out of my mouth: “Well, that’s not going to happen again!”
I couldn’t believe I said that! I’m not really sure if it registered with her. I quickly kept talking and hoped for the best.
If I was her, I would not ever trust me again.
So TaxGuy u say he did not understand what u said or what u ment. Maybe u did not understand what he said or ment.
Maybe he was joking by acting offended.
Hmm, yeah, you could be right, dude, I never thought of that. Well, this has been quite a productive thread. Thanks everyone.
Random probably irrelevant point: If he was a Rastafarian he probably wouldn’t have tidy, well-groomed dreadlocks.
