Thank Dog! (laugh)

Hey, PC is just silliness for the most part. Don't tell anyone, but
my black friends haven't turned into African Americans. I can still
laugh at Irish jokes. Shoot, a lot of ethnic stereotype jokes are
funny. Obviously, some aren't.

Funny, I'm reminded of an incident at work. I was assigned this new
guy, he was to help me out with a lot of stuff. I jokingly called
him my boy. As in, you know how guys used to call their secretaries
their girl. Seriously a joke. One time in a meeting we were all
joking around about something or another, I said I'll have my boy
take care of that. Got a major jab in the ribs from another guy in
the group. What? Well, there was a black consultant in the room.
Oh, GIVE ME A BREAK, it had nothing to do with black people. Tired
of walking around on eggshells like that.
