@’yo dude’: sorry, you’ll just have to figure out that posts with titles like this are just auto-posted straight out of del.icio.us because I’m too lazy, bored or otherwise distracted to write a real post. Sorry to disappoint.

Through many years of marriage, I have learned that pretty much anything I say can get me in trouble, and that my comments are often taken way differently than I intended.

I grew up in Louisiana and am half Cajun – politically correct down there means you voted for the winner. Our culture has always made fun of itself, and the best Cajun jokes come from Cajuns. Of course, we also made up some of the best Aggie jokes, too.

I recall a professor of mine in a MBA economics course was forced to leave the program after suggesting a female student decided to make Michael Jordan t-shirts rather than go-go dancing to explain the concept of opportunity costs. It was light-hearted and the female student singled out was not bothered. However, another female classmate was offended (although it was not obvious while the class was in progress), so much so that she complained formally. I think the response was a bit heavy handed.

Enough seriousness. Since I am Irish and Catholic, let me end with the following favorites:

“Wherever their are four Catholics, there is a fifth.”

“What is an Irish seven course meal?”

“A potato and a six pack.”
