I was only trying to be sensitive to those who may be offended but did not want to speak up. Apparently, no one who reads this board has actually been offended (at least none that I know of). If I am offended in the future, I will simply ignore the post. However, I think people should be careful when they post jokes that poke fun at groups of people, especially jokes like these that perpetuate stereotypes. People can be very hurt by "harmless" jokes. I know. It's part of my work. Feel free to write off the board about it.
