watch what you say



I was in the supermarket, looking at the TV dinners. Next to me was an older lady. She pointed at the Hungry Man dinners, laughed, and said, "You know, they should rename those products. Hungry Man is no longer politically correct. It favors men and excludes women. They should rename it 'Hungry Person'.

I laughed and agreed. As she walked away, I had a creative thought.

I called out to the lady, "No, not Hungry Person. Hungry Human!"

She kept walking and, over her shoulder, gave me a thumbs up.

Then, when I thought about it, I realized that, to be politically correct, you can't use the word human anymore. Hu man. It contains the word "man". OMG, after millions of years, we have to find another word for our species! How about hu person?
