Typical Monday Update
It’s Monday again, 2:45 am, and time for me to update my blog.
What could be the most exciting thing that is going to happen this week. Well, I don’t want to assume, but I will guess it will be at noon today.
You see, I am one of the lucky doctors who gets to go to a very special conference. Well, I suppose our entire ER group is lucky since we all get to go to this conference. We get to learn about penis and vagina the male Kaboomers and the female “Middle pockets.” We also get to learn not to talk about them to other co-workers ever. Oh yeah baby, that’s right, we all get to go to Sexual Harassment training.
The fact that I have a 2 hour meeting on this disturbs me. I understand that it can be an actual problem. Got it. But 2 hours? I’d rather have a 2 hour meeting on being Politically Correct. Well, they are pretty darn similar, actually. Thus, I think I’ll go rantin about “being politically correct.”
I know, I can feel the vibes of jealousy zapping through the computer and burning my loins. Oh wait, not burning my loins, I’m not going to be allowed to say that any more. Must…be…politically…correct…
Alright, let me resuscitate the horse that I have already beaten into a battered bloody mess so that I can beat this dead horse some more.
Yes we should try to be politically correct and not brazenly offend people and be ridiculously inappropriate.
That being said…
Holy sweet merciful CRAP I HATE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!
What makes this even more hilarious is that we are going to attempt this in an Emergency Room. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the staff will try to keep it somewhat PC. However, if you have been to any ER on a Friday or Saturday night, you must have some thick skin, cause insults are coming in high quantities. Drunk people are not clever. They pretty much will curse angrily and loudly, and when that does not get them what they want, the only defense mechanism they have is to increase the volume and try again.
The general community as a whole has had the pendulum swing way too far in the direction of political correctness. We have gone from a population of strong willed independent hard-workers to that of a whiny, complaining, easily offended crybabies that will run sniveling to their lawyer before they confront another person (my apologies to Mr. Miller).
This is coming from a guy who goes about as far out of his way from offending people as humanly possible.
Ok, end rant.However, I believe there is still hope for the world. This is why…
I went to Yahoo, to search “sexual harassment,” and when I clicked it, it said:
Also try: hot sexual harassment,
I find that absolutely friggin’ hilarious. I think I always will. It’s politically incorrect, but pretty dang funny.
I’m going to try to slip the word “hot” before everytime I say sexual harassment from now on. Ok, back to my P.C. reading.

I am so *not* jealous of your training. Back in my law enforcement days we had a manditory meeting that lasted 4 hours! It was put on by some poor civilian woman that had no idea how she was going to be eaten alive. I was sitting next to my Sgt. who was the worst offender but I didn’t mind him in the least. First to my embarrassment, he jumped out of his seat when the lady started talking and reported me to her for trying to touch him. She pretty much told him to behave or he would be reported to the Sheriff and did he mind? He said, “Do you mind if I lick your eyebrows?” It went pretty much downhill from there. Ugh.
I grew up in a family that spoke their minds (some more tactfully than others), so I think all this PC stuff is a bunch of crap!
You are so handsome … I bet you get sexually harrassed all the time!!! Remember how the nurses in Covenant used to say you’re so do-able??? That was before they found out you’re as inviting as a wooden dildo (don’t know what means but it sounds funny).
On another note, YOU’re the reason why my blog has so many page views! THanks!
