I don't think I've been offended since 1966, BW, when England won the world cup, and I was in Osnabrück.
Perhaps you read it with the wrong tone of voice: instead of imagining me running up and down the curtains like a cat chased by a snake, see me laid out on the sofa, with some chilled vodka, a papirosa and warmed by Rachmaninov's large hands.
Still can't see your point though.
