Speaking of poop. I am not sure if anyone else from Pittsburgh ever heard this or it was made up by the person I was talking to? Who just happened to hate Pittsburgh.

As they said, you have Beaver in the north and Brownsville in the south with your dirty taintsburgh in the middle.

There was a clickbait thing that came across my feed with a joke as a hook. It said "What is the difference between 69 and driving in the fog?". I thought I might like this joke but will never click on clickbait. So I googled. AI Responded with:

The key difference between "driving in the fog" and "a sixty nine" is that "driving in the fog" refers to a dangerous driving condition with reduced visibility due to atmospheric moisture, requiring extreme caution and slower speeds, while "a sixty nine" is a slang term for a sexual position, completely unrelated to driving or weather conditions

I don't think AI will be taking over any time soon.

The joke is "In the fog you can't see the asshole in front of you"

Should Comeds use the 69 joke at a work function

ChatGPT said:​

Using a "69" joke at a work function is generally not a good idea. Workplace environments usually prioritize professionalism, and humor that could be seen as inappropriate or offensive may cause discomfort or tension among colleagues. Even if the joke might seem harmless or funny to some, it could make others feel uneasy or be seen as unprofessional, especially in a diverse environment with varying cultural or personal sensitivities.
If you're considering humor at a work function, it’s typically safer to choose jokes that are light-hearted, inclusive, and non-offensive to ensure that everyone feels comfortable.

Should Comeds use the fog joke at a work function

ChatGPT said:​

Whether a "fog joke" would be appropriate depends on the context of the joke and the workplace culture. If it's a light-hearted, harmless joke that doesn’t reference anything offensive or inappropriate, it could be okay. However, even with something seemingly harmless like a "fog joke," it's important to consider the following:

1. Audience: Know your audience and whether they would appreciate the humor. What some people find funny, others may find confusing or out of place.
2. Tone of the Event: If it's a more formal event or a setting where professionalism is expected, it’s better to err on the side of caution and avoid jokes that could be seen as offbeat or unrelated to the occasion.
3. Context: Ensure the joke doesn't unintentionally reference anything that could be perceived as insensitive or offensive.

If the "fog joke" is light, neutral, and doesn't have any hidden meanings, it might be fine. Just be sure to gauge the room and keep it professional.

If I am reading this right, it's better to say the fog part first. Just make sure there are lots of people who understand both fog and 69ing in the room so they all feel included.

The CEO's of these large supermarket companies are probably more evil than the CEO's of Health Insurance companies.

Well I wont argue with AI, I have done that before for hours before we finally agreed to disagree, but whats more inclusive than a 69 joke?

For all my jokes, I actually do know how to behave in an office environment. In fact a few times there have been outbursts of some sort, and people have pointed at me and said "He didn't know what to do". LOL, no I was just being quiet enjoying sitting back watching everyone else look silly

A few years ago a coworker silenced the office for a few minutes. Apparently some sitcom had a running joke about 'work wives' and 'work husbands', platonic couples in the office who act like married couples. My supervisor for my first 8 years here was a woman and one day we were coming back from someplace. I think I was carrying something for her or vice versa and a coworker loudly said "Hey Brenda is Comed's work wife". Her never hearing the term was really taken aback, walked over and angrily asked "what the fuck?". He answered something along the line that it was no big deal, I was her work husband too.....which really didn't help.

I was just standing there trying not to laugh, and thinking (correctly) how for the next few weeks when we are around others - my boss is going to be aloof towards me.
