(Michael Gove apologises for his 'clumsy' Harvey Weinstein joke.)

I know.....

Let's just criminalise any sort of joke. I'd like that because at least I wouldn't have to worry if I've offended the politically correct.
I've been struggling to think of any joke that doesn't 'offend' somebody or other. That's what jokes are - they take the mickey out of men/women/blacks/Irish*/Cockneys/Scousers/'tight' Jocks/gays, etc etc
(* the best Irish jokes are told by Irish people, imo)

I was always first in and out of the showers in my playing days so no one could see my genitals, which I was embarrassed about. Team mates took the mickey. But, today, I might be able to sue them for being 'offensive'. Believe me I was more offended back then than black men claim to have been when somebody recently joked about their bigger genitals. (Not that I believe black men would be offended in any way, it's just that the PC think they MIGHT be.

It might sound over-the-top, but if it would help the PC, before long people will have to stop and ask themselves if any throwaway quip is worth the trouble. Comedians will be a thing of the past, and the Houses of Parliament will consist only of politically-correct people.

Let's unite. If you know of any PC people, give them a thick lip. Or, do you think life is meant to be taken extremely seriously?
