...about America in this PC-driven age of where s/he who is aggrieved the firstest and the mostest is the mostest correct, and the rest of us must adapt or be ostracized by those who have declared themselves our betters...

A bald man with a wooden leg gets invited to a Halloween Party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head & his leg, so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem. A few days later he received a parcel with the following note:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head, & with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg so he writes a letter of complaint. A week goes by, he receives another parcel & a note, which says:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a monk's costume. The long robe will cover your wooden leg, & with your bald head, you should really look the part.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head, so again he writes the Company another nasty letter of complaint. The next day he gets a small Parcel and a note, which reads:
Dear Sir,
We have TRIED our very BEST.
Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses & a bag of crushed nuts. Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your Wooden Leg up your a$$ & go as a caramel apple.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co

It was invented by politicians (who are mostly lawyers) who did not wish to offend anyone stupid enough to vote for them.
