I must admit that this has only a small connection to Wickenburg business, but I just have to vent in a unique way. This morning a happened to read another blog where the writer claimed to have been “offended” because someone had written a piece in a technical trade magazine that talked about Jesus. For that reason the person cancelled the magazine subscription saying that religion should not have been put in that publication. Clearly we have become a nation of people being offended – offended at just about everything!
Years ago my mother (rest her soul) told a cute joke that will always stick in memory. It goes like this:
On a large college campus there was a fraternity house across the street from a sorority house. As young men will often do, the guys in the fraternity house were often careless forgetting to pull the shades when undressing. Being offended by this display of public nudity, the women sent the following letter:
“Dear men of the Sigma Nu house. The evening course in male anatomy is not appreciated, please discontinue. Respectively, Women of the Tri Delt House”
Upon reading the note, the men drafted a nice reply:
“Dear ladies of the Tri Delt House. The course in male human anatomy which you mentioned is not a required one at this university. Respectively, the men at the Sigma Nu house.”
