THE POLITICALLY CORRECT CAN’T TAKE A JOKE

A sign placed in a bar’s window that included a reference to Irish drunks, offended a lot of people, but probably not the Irish

It just goes to show that the politically correct crowd can’t take a joke. The people that objected to the sign need to get a life.

NO YAPPING MUTTS
NO IRISH DRUNKS
NO SCREAMING KIDS
NO CELL PHONES
NO STROLLERS
NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS

So read a sign in the window of The Dock, a bar in Montauk on New York’s Long Island. The NO IRISH DRUNKS part of the sign set off a shitstorm of protests.

George Watson, the owner of The Dock, is a retired NYC firefighter who bought the bar in 1973. In response to the protests, Watson used his website to say:

At The Dock, we feel that in order for a joke to be funny, it must be told at someone’s expense. We tell ethnic, sexist, and racial jokes - everyone gets their turn in the barrel. If you are self absorbed yuppie scum with a cellphone and ''free spirited'' children, go elsewhere.

While Watson was unapologetic, he did cover up the word ‘Irish’ with a sheet of paper that reads: SENSITIVE.
