Joe,
It was supposed to be funny. I thought it would be 'fighter squadron' humour, Sid (Machinbird) called it 'ready room' humour, and The Bald Eagle wanted to pile on with something else, something really bad. Take a joke that is made at your expense as a compliment. That is how it was meant. We used to say that negative slack tends to increase. So it did not pay to show thin skin. Just wait until you have the upper hand and then pile on. But in good, malicious humor.
By the way, can you model a SPAD 7 for me? I cannot seem to get anything done on my project since Spadmaker was banished, and since we had our third baby. Baby jokes anyone?
Pete
