Gay Jokes...one story from one page of one day of my life....:biggrin:
OK...I sell at trade shows often next to two very redneck people...they are a straight couple. I KNOW they like both me and my lover and vice versa...we like them alot.
So one day after knowing them both for many years he pulls me aside to tell me a slew of "gay jokes" with the qualification that he doesn't mean to offend me :biggrin:
...ACK...Here's the thing with me. I do not know how I am going to react...I don't hold back when I have something to say even if it costs me so I am thinking at any moment I would explode...but something about his tone and body language kept me quiet...
...and I was so glad I did because right after the gay jokes came the redneck jokes...he is a redneck and proud of it....
In order to get my point here you have to read between the lines :biggrin:
You can come to your own conclusions of course but for me...he taught me something very important that day. I am grateful to him.
