instead of "lightening up" whats wrong with civility and politeness and consideration for other human beings instead of saying things that you know are going to be embarrassing...

honestly, do you want these kind of people talking to your 17 yro old sweet dtr?....

what kind of men do we have in this country anymore?

My father was and my brothers are truely manly men, and I can never imagine any of them saying such stupid and silly remarks....

Give me a break. It’s perfectly acceptable for bumper stickers which say “Save the ta tas” but jokes about chicken breasts?

Show me the line not to cross....it is very blurry.

Tastelessness is not a crime, which is why she needs to lighten up. The guy didn’t attack her, or even make a pass at her ... he made a chicken breast joke.

More and more often, girly men that find chicken breast jokes off-putting. If that’s what you want from a guy ... good luck.

It was a joke better left to a locker room (which remain the same as locker rooms in the time of Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle ... bawdy) — but men have been just like this since the beginning of time.

>> honestly, do you want these kind of people talking to your 17 yro old sweet dtr?....

My daughter is five. So, I’m going to go with “no”. When she’s grown ... she’ll live.

I’ve made chicken breast jokes in front of my wife (who is, incidentially, my father-in-law’s daughter). She laughs at them. She’s a grown woman. We have two kids ... they were not virgin births.

This busty chicken-breast peddler is also a grown woman ... she’ll live.

>> My father was and my brothers are truely manly men, and I can never imagine any of them saying such stupid and silly remarks....

Perhaps not out loud. Perhaps out loud, but not in front of you. Newsflash — your father and brothers like(d) breasts, naked women, and bawdy humor — just like every other “manly man”. Just because we don’t say it in front of our daughter or sister doesn’t mean we don’t think it ... or say it in other circumstances.

The guy was a bit tasteless to tell a bawdy joke in front of a strange woman — and the woman overreacted severely. She is more in the wrong than he.

Talk to those who live 50 or 60 years ago, but my feeling is that this sort of thing was much more prevalent then than it is now as today everyone whines and complains about every little thing.

This story is Exhibit A.
