You would fit about 6547 Wodonga's in Wales.

It's a place in Stray'ya

Ok, here’s the super, PC, pedant friendly version:

You can’t see what it is (‘cos it’s SO DARK) but you guess ‘Bear’! But what kind of bear? (I’m not being speciesist, here, all bears are good. But they have a tendency to eat people so procedures for self-preservation are required.)
Rather than hit it, ask it if it REALLY wants to eat you. While it’s pondering this emotionally charged question, run up a tree.

As before, if it pulls the tree down and eats you it’s a grizzly. If it climbs the tree and eats you it’s a non-grizzly but carnivore species.

Well this version doesn't offend me, but it's just not as funny.

PC is killing humor, and that's no joke.

You weren’t really offended by my use of the words ‘brown’ and ‘black’ were you? They’re no different to ‘red’ and ‘green’. I hope you were taking the mickey out of life as I was.

Oh great! Here we go again. Mixing red and green gives you brown. Just can't be PC can you.




Yes, I'm just kidding you!

No I was not offended. I am not a millennial.... Can I say that?


My kid was pitching a fit the other day because he wanted a new toy, and didn't have the money.
Me: "What are the magic words to get what you want?"
Him: "I am offended!"
Me: "How much do you need?"

It wasn’t somebody being PC that killed this joke, it was somebody being pedantic.

Two scholars were peer reviewing papers about the ocean.
One turned to the other and said: "There's no information about whales here."
The other responded: "Ok, we'll have to make a note, 'cetacean needed.'"

My wife told me she thought we'd have less arguments if I wasn't so pedantic.
I told her, "I think you mean fewer".

My wife and I have been arguing a lot because she thinks I'm too pedantic

So I've started drinking.
She told me, Alcohol isn't a solution.
Actually, I replied it's excellent at dissolving many substances.
