Because Women are Stupid

Sunny brought me my beautiful internet wisdom of the day!

"One of the worst ways to stop someone from telling sexist jokes is to tell him the joke isn’t funny. He’ll assume that you’re humorless and that he needs to save the good stuff for the right audience. If you really want someone to stop telling sexist jokes, you need to tell him, “I don’t get it” and then step back as he tries not to say, “It’s funny because women are stupid.""

Excellent.

I and a couple of colleagues met a guy the other day who made a racist joke. We just looked at him as if we didn't get it and he started digging himself in deeper and deeper. We kept looking at him. Then he said, "Have I said something that's not very PC?" (As if he didn't know!). "Little bit", we said and then he started apologizing. We didn't plan to do this, it just kind of happened, but he ended up pretty embarrassed and hopefully will think twice in future.
