Please forgive my inappropriate and UN-professional comment. the bottom line 
is that I was 100% disrespectful to the other members of the group.. if any 
ladies have been upset by my rude comment.. I'm sorry!  and josh, I'm far 
from being a "coarse buffoon" I'm sure we all have made mistakes in one way 
or another.
