Political Correctness

There is an annual contest at University of Texas calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term was "Political Correctness."

The winner wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible .... To pick up a turd by the clean end."

speaking of political correctness, time to ride some coat tails here.

I find it amusing, but in a "funny but wrong" kinda way.

A woman goes to the doctor, beaten black and blue.
Doctor: "What happened?"
Woman: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every time my husband
comes home drunk he beats me to a pulp."
Doctor: "I have a real good medicine for that. When your husband
comes home drunk, just take a glass of chamomile tea and start
gargling with it. Just gargle and gargle."
Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh
and reborn.
Woman: "Doctor, that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband
came home drunk, I gargled with chamomile tea. I gargled and
gargled, and nothing happened!"

Doctor: "You see how keeping your mouth shut helps?"
