Not that I'm into sexist jokes but.......
Edited on Sat May-30-09 12:01 AM by chknltl
when I read this earlier today it made me smile anyway. :hi:

(edited/changed to make the ending less offensive)

1. Take out the word "bitch" and that joke is almost okay.

10. Thanks for pointing out how it could be improved elshiva.
I have learned a great many things here in the big DU. One of the most profound lessons I've learned here was how sexism is a form of racism and how we subtly, unintentionally promulgate it without being aware that we do this. My bestest 'bff' passed this joke on to me-she knew better but it made us both smile none-the-less. Glad you liked the edit-I like it better this way too.
