The employees at a now defunct former ITT subsidiary had to all sign a contract about what would get us fired. It was put into a contract because none of it was otherwise legal by Florida law. One of the things was, “I agree to never, under any circumstances, tell a joke.” I paused in reading and asked the HR lady why and she said, wide-eyed, “You never know who you might offend!” I was thinking, I don’t care, but I needed the money, so I signed. It was like working in some dystopian future where everyone looked around to see who might overhear before the simplest conversation. (Any non-work-related conversation was also outlawed.)
Liberals want to control what you think. Since they can’t do that, they’ll do the next best thing and control what you can say. No humor is acceptable. Probably we’ll see fewer and fewer comedy specials on cable. They’re just too “controversial.”
Right thread? Sounds interesting.
“I agree to never, under any circumstances, tell a joke.”
You should have told them that you found their joke offensive and sued them.
