Bonus points if someone can come up with a retort for someone who pokes fun at you in a mean-spirited way, and then when you cry foul, pulls the "I was JUST KIDDING! Geez, can't you TAKE A JOKE???"
Oooh, pick me, pick me!
My dazzling retort is....YOU PUNCH THEM IN THE NUTS! And when they object, you say it's slapstick! A tried and tested comedy style! And, hey, the bit where they doubled up in pain and made little retching noises sure made everyone else in the room giggle - comedy GOLD, baybee! Where's their sense of humour?
Geez, can't you TAKE A JOKE???
The answer is NO. And then Fay's kicking them in the nuts suggestion.
[edit: Oh, my bad. Punching them in the nuts, not kicking.]
Mental note, no borderline jokes on physical presence of Fay, unless wearing a cup.
Here's a blog to start to the discussion of privilege - I have to go to the Dean's holiday party in another few minutes, unfortunately:

"I was JUST KIDDING! Geez, can't you TAKE A JOKE???"
"Only funny ones."
Was it last week on SNL when they were picking on the Governor of New York's blindness? Dude, NOT COOL. Holding things upside down? Facing the wrong camera? Wandering back on stage? SRSLY? BLIND jokes? Did their third grade teachers not GET that memo?
Now, "I'm a blind man who loves cocaine who was suddenly appointed governor. My life is an actual plot from a Richard Pryor movie." was actually funny. And it wasn't mocking a DISABILITY.
In other NY politics news, looks like we're getting Caroline Kennedy-Wheredidtheschlossberggo. I could not be more pleased. Loves me some carpbagging Kennedys.
As much as I enjoy ranting, Fay takes it with the cock punch.
"I was JUST KIDDING! Geez, can't you TAKE A JOKE???"
"No. And I also don't like pathetic little ploys to get out of taking responsibility for one's own words."
My favorite justification is, "Well, I make fun of everybody, no matter their race, ethnicity, heritage, whatever. People are people and I make fun of them all."
rolls eyes forver.
