Isn’t “ho” a term of endearment anyway?

[silentreignofheroes]

Not to break in,,,but what will they call multi-vibrators,,or how can instructors teach the color code..

[EggsAckley]

“BCH” and “RCH”

Haven’t heard that in a hundred or more years (I think).

Thanks for the memories.

[ari-freedom]

ohmigosh santa really got imused

[BobS]

"Then Santa can say Ha, ha, HO!"

"Love it!"

Women can enjoy the full emotional experience of walking by Santa this way!

[ari-freedom]

maybe we should just nuke the entire planet so there won’t be any more offended people

[Redcloak]

I guess that Santa will have to say “Nappy, Nappy, Nappy” instead.

[Chode]

so i've been told... 8^)

[MrLee]

This world is just plain getting wacky!

[bigheadfred]

I think they should leave it alone. Just to see how many women line up to sit in his lap.

How long before “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” gets banned as racist?

[UCANSEE2]

I hate to be thought rascist, but I think it must be said.

WOMEN don’t think that HOHOHO means ‘ho’ as in the gansta rap ‘ho’.

Black women might take offense to the use of the word ‘ho’, but I don’t think a large majority of caucasion women do.
Caucasian men say ‘hooker’, when they are talking about prostitutes, not ‘ho’.

Then again, maybe we should take offense to the phrase ‘he-he-he’ when someone in a horror movie laughs maniacally.

‘He’ is short for male prostitute. You say ‘no’?

Just as much validity as saying ‘ho’ stands for prostitute, hooker, or whore. Actually it sounds like an extension of the word homo.

Oh, yeah. No more going to the local quick stop and asking for TWINKIES or DING-DONGS. I’m afraid that practice will now have to stop. I think you know why.

FUDGE will no longer be a flavor offered as Baskin-Robbins.

Pet shops will have to discontinue sales of HAMSTERS.

It will be illegal to own Liberace albums.

Beach shoes will be known as ‘sandals’ (unless the Arabs protest), and not as ‘flip-flops’ (per Sen. Kerry)

The Christmas Trees in all Midwestern college campuses must be put up on Even days of the month, and taken down on Odd days.

One more thing. No more using the word ‘odd’. It would offend too many.

[AGreatPer]

I have six Santa's working for me. That is part of their test to say Ho, Ho, Ho with gusto before they get hired.
I don't need no limp wristed Santas.

[Doogle]

the store is wimpy wimpy wimpy

[bigheadfred]

Ping

[Lexinom]

Nope. Nukes are politically incorrect! :o)

[ThomasThomas]

This is a conspiricy to hurt her competition.

[bigheadfred]

What do you do at the Mexican restaurant? Maybe they will be a thing of the past, too.

[bigheadfred]

uh-oh, fruit and seafood are in trouble too.

[omega4412]

Or electrical engineers and master/slave flip-flop circuits...

It's already happened for master/slave computers in LA.
