“Still, why tell a dirty joke at some sort of event like this?”
I once told a joke in church. I did not consider it in any way obscene or dirty. About a dozen of the baptists laughed, but one person took offense. I told her I was sorry she was offended, but not sorry I told the joke. Why? Because the only way to never offend anyone while telling a joke is to never tell one at all.
