this is our modern world – people getting defensive because they don’t understand that the dumb things they say offend people. funny is funny. offensive is not funny…

Her husband is probably happy too. Remember the old song:
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
He seems to have succeeded in that

If I have offended anyone, please let me know. That way I can post dozens more like it.
