The dumbing down of America continues.
And the new idea that it is somehow admirable to tell someone off. I just hate this new trend. The only way they feel tough, smart or of value, is if they tell someone off...whether they bump into them on the sidewalk; get their order wrong in a resturant; or as we have here, tell a joke that they do not understand; they feel they are the better person if they shout the other person down, or put them down in some way.
I am sorry. An innocent remark like yours...one that is accurate; didn’t deserve such a silly reaction..
