I really gotta know what was sticking in this guy's craw for 7 years:
Man Says 7-Year-Old Joke Led to Killing
Dude. Ligthen up. And for God's sake, please let us in on the joke.
Update: Tigerhawk led me to more on this...
The alleged murderer, Stanford Douglas Jr. had hired a private investigator, John Ciaccio, to find William Berkeyheiser. Although the PI doesn't reveal the reason Douglas hired him, clearly it was so he could kill him. The assumed motive is a 7year held grudge over a racial joke.

Until I reead the article I thought he was just a little slow in getting the punchline. Now I know he's just f*ed up. 7 years?

joated--I don't think the guy's slow on the up-take. I do think the guy's been toting a bag of putrid resentment way too long.
No matter what the article may intimate, a "joke" doesn't lead this...
Cheers,
