Joke, Insult?

The time ticked itself as 12.48am. Wednesday 21st June 2006. Time flies. Okay, I didn't really thought of blogging until I read something online. You know, the feeling of reading something that triggers your mind way back to when it happened, really felt funny. A bit heartache too. Here's what happened.

We went to a radio interview way, way back then. Yeah yeah, eventually some questions came and we had to answer it. Pop, something came out of my mouth and seriously.. it was a joke! No kidding! Totally, just a joke. I admit that it was kinda rude letting it out but heck, I didn't mean it! I explained and well, although he gave me the feeling that he's not listening.. I thought deep down inside he did accepted my apologies, somehow.. All went well until 10 minutes ago. I felt disappointed.

Again, I stress it again. It was a joke. Didn't know it made it to the INSULT LIST. Come on. You can't put a joke and assume it's an insult, can you?

Oxford Dictionary says:

insult

• verb /insult/ speak to or treat with disrespect or abuse.

• noun /insult/ 1 an insulting remark or action. 2 a thing so worthless or contemptible as to be offensive: the pay offer is an absolute insult.

joke

• noun 1 a statement made or short story told in order to cause amusement. 2 a trick played for fun. 3 informal a ridiculously inadequate or inappropriate thing.

See the difference? If I purposely made a joke out of that, yeah I guess it was very wrong of me to say that. But I explained. It came out with no other intention. Honestly, I really thought you've gotten over it.

Don't mean to make a big fuss out of this but I think I deserve the right to speak for myself. Hope you understand :)
