Thought for the day

If someone wants to tell you a joke, listen. It may be offensive or make you angry or even start your day with a laugh. But listen.  Jokes are a way for our culture to bring up issues that are present but are hard to simply talk about. Issues that concern people, scare people, that people want to know if other people experience them too. Sometimes a joke can make a connection or start a useful conversation in a PC world.
