AMEN!  Well said, and my thoughts exactly.  We have become FAR too
concerned over pc matters and our lives are the poorer for it.  I do NOT
mean that we should be insensitive towards the feelings of others, but we
just cannot emasculate (!) our language and humor in the vain hope that we
will avoid offending everyone.  Lest we forget, you cannot please all of
the people all of the time.
