I think that sums up what I was trying to say.

I suppose my brother and his wife could have been offended at the jokes my husband cracked about firewalking, but they didn't. They laughed because he wasn't trying to be hurtful towards them or firewalkers and he wasn't making any judgement about how smart or stupid you'd have to be to do it.

It was funny, and if you'd been there, you would have laughed.
