Its not ok to make a rude joke when Adams is around, but same joke becomes
taseful and funny when he is not listening. In short, a thief is not a thief
until caught red handed. Right? Nice logic.

Of course, to make fun of a guy who is trying his best and losing. Very nice of
you, I am sure. Since you are unable to differentiate between a joke and a
taunt, I will help you here:

Obviously. Not everybody laughs their heads off on a tasteless remark.

An old saying: When somebody starts to loose an argument, he starts to raise his
voice and hurls insults. You have already lost the argument, you now show your
true character and start to hurl insults...
