Probably does belong over in the jokes thread. Per
Snopes, it's untrue.
That said, I agree with FSA that Carrotdude's comments crossed a line, or at least came close to it. FSA was, IMHO, very polite in his response and made sure not to cross a second line. Wellard blew us over a third line with hurricane-force winds
That line between humor and offense can be razor-thin, sometimes... so let me feebly push back over with an old one:
A priest, a rabbi, and a lawyer walk into a bar.
Ouch!
Hmmm... I don't think that's gotten any better with age.
