Live and learn, eh Joe? :-)

I used to make wisecracks without thinking and I often upset people. I just have a pun-ny sense of humour which other people didn't always appreciate. Now I think before I speak, well, most of the time.

The worst wisecrack I ever made was a line I had heard, which was inspired by the Dustin Hoffmann movie Tootsie. I said "Hoffman, Hoffwoman" i.e. half man, half woman to a young male work colleague whose surname was Hoffman. He was so upset, and then I was so apologetic. I felt bad for a long time after that and it made me more careful about what I said out loud. I could still think funny/pun-ny thoughts but I didn't have to say them aloud all the time unless I was sure of the likely reaction.
