    As I am not an English-speaker, I wasn't sure if my phrase was correct; I meant: «Je ne trouve pas les menaces de mort drôles.» Even, and more so, in a text about one's daughter dating.

    And I'm not sure if anybody «deserves» killing. In «The Lord of the Rings», Frodo says to Gandalf that Gollum deserves death. Gandalf answers:
    «Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do no be too eager to deal out death in judgement.» Chapter I-2.

    Sylvain - The list is a Father's protective nature regarding HIS Daughter.

    It is not to be taken literally. You say you are not an english speaker, so maybe this type of humor is difficult to understand, just as our slang terms do not hold their meaning through translation.

    I think I understand -- I even understand why some can find it funny -- but I don't joke with killing.
