Comments on: How to Be Politically Correct When Telling Jokes

on 8/8/2006 When reading about political correctness, keep in mind this is a communication style for the weakest links in our society and don't take it seriously. Use common sense, don't be rude, and don't make a fool out of yourself.

on 6/30/2006 Pretend the priest (or clergyman) at your place of worship were sitting next to you when you tell the joke. A decent person would temper the offensiveness of the joke. However, if you're not smart enough to do that, then follow what the other guy said.

on 11/22/2005 Avoid calling us "guys," "dudes," "boys," and "studs." "Men" is the politically correct term.

on 11/22/2005 Be careful when telling G. W. Bush and Al Gore jokes! You're bound to offend someone in the group. It's probably ok to go after the Green Party - they're more liberal, have a sense of humor and know it's, unfortunately, a lost cause.

on 11/22/2005 There is no such thing as a politically correct joke. That is an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Jokes usually mean to make light of or poke fun at something and, therefore, will be incorrect to somebody. I'm with Steve on this one! Just don't bother.

on 11/22/2005 Just don't do it. No matter what you say or do, some moron will take offense. Don't say anything at all, so you don't offend any whining little babies with an ax to grind and a big chip on their shoulders.

on 11/22/2005 Avoid calling us "gals," "girls," "ladies,"babes" and "chicks." "Women" is the politically correct term for you guys, dudes, boys, studs to use.
