I very much apologize if I have offended you. The joke, which it obviously
was not, was a pun on the word "basin", which can be mis-pronounced as
"bison". In no way did I intend to denigrate or belittle any race, color
or creed in my futile attempt at humor.
Again, please accept my apologies.
Sincerely,
James

Hey - we didn't need all this... I'm British, and that's how we say basin.
old chap. I'm not offended, I'm amused. I guess irony doesn't transmit.
