Telling a joke is now a crime in Canada. They used to outlaw them in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Its a measure of how far the benighted Dominion Of Canada has fallen, that telling a joke now can get you ensnared by the country's political correctness police.

But it’s still OK to be offensive to comics and assault them by throwing alcohol in their eyes.
