A joke that got peoples heckles up

I just read an interview in this week's Listener with Ana Samways of the Herald's Sideswipe column and the Spare Room blog (see the links column in the side bar) . In the interview she tells a joke that apparently led to all sorts of outraged emails and letters - I thought the joke was fantastic.

Here goes: Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with his odd diet he suffered from bad-breath.

This made him a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Apparently Gandhi jokes are a bit of a no-go area!
