yeah, though I am supposing that the guy wanted the absolute reverse of his '77 example. though I do agree with you that a normal life does not necessarily equal a hetrosexual life, it's just a joke, live a little.

as to who wrote it, I have no idea, I got it at the end of one of those chain letters full of "funnies" that you normally want to delete instantly after giving the order to have all the people who pressed "forward to all recipients in my mailing list" killed in a horrible way.

oh, sorry, I misunderstood then :(

tbh I wonder if if we can come up with the reverse, ie 2007, well adjusted person does something, whereas 1977, same person fails miserably and becomes a pariah among his peers ;)
