Comedian Ralphie May has a a routine where he talks about the word retarded. He talks about them being the happiest people in the world. He says that we all need new cars and new houses to be happy, all a retard needs is a scooby doo lunchbox. And if that has a thermos with chocolate milk they hit the lottery. If someone is offended by the word retard, they probably aren't retarded.
lol - I love Raphie May!
