I would DEFINITELY sign up for this course.... Of course I would get expelled from the class, and probably the university. It is an old but true story: Our super decided we needed mandatory sensitivity training, so she brought in some 60's types. Divided us into whites, blacks, etc and each told why we "resented" the others. Then why we were "proud" of our group. The first white guy they asked "why are you proud of your group" said "I can't think of anything to be proud about." So I said "I can" "I'm proud to be part of aculture known over theworld as a beacon for freedom, opportunity, and a place for oppressed peoples. I am part of a group that, when we dominated western culture, produced more freedom, more tolerance, more wealth, more healthy people, than any civilization in history, so that oppressed minorities from all over the world want to come here." (The facilitator actually sneered, btw).

We "healed wounds" by clapping for each group. Blacks, whites, women, stood and we clapped. Then she asked gays to stand . Then she asked us to clap for "Secretly gay 10% of the population" "Did I leave out anyone?"

I stood and said "I always knew I was different. I really dug funerals as a kid, especially corpse skin. I always got so..... excited and all. I didn't understand that I was just different. At puberty I realized I was a necrophiliac. I have decided to come out. I am tired of people saying I am perverted! I need love and acceptance, too!"

The horrified looks on some of the older secretaries was PRICELESS. My fellow engineers were biting on pens to keep from laughing. The look of pure hatred from the facilitator (who was a lesbian, btw) was all I could do to keep from laughing.

My supervisor called me into his office and asked me "what the HELL were you thinking?" and then started laughing.

I was planning on leaving anyway (I started my own business), but the division manager was a real pc wingnut and made a point of calling me in and firing me for "disrespect to homosexuals." I asked her if she thought I had a chance at an EEOC lawsuit. She called security and had me escorted off the property. That was 15 years ago and whenever I see guys out that I worked with they bring that up. I would not trade it for anything.

Classic story; wish I could've seen it.

[Once-Ler]

That was very funny. Thanx for a hearty laugh.

[Grizzled Bear]

You are my new hero!

I stood and said "I always knew I was different. I really dug funerals as a kid, especially corpse skin...I would not trade it for anything.

You sure made the best of your fifteen minutes of fame! Salute!

Bump!!!!

BTTT!

And a big bump to your "disrespect to homosexuals"

Almost makes me want to leave my own business to submit myself to some PC training to follow in your footsteps!

Damn Dude,that's a keeper!

Great story! Hubby and I are proud of you! Hubby says that he guesses students are allowed to "get behind" in that class.

[MarMema]

You are awesome. Thank you for sharing a great story!

"Did I leave out anyone?"

I stood and said "I always knew I was different. I really dug funerals as a kid, especially corpse skin. I always got so..... excited and all. I didn't understand that I was just different. At puberty I realized I was a necrophiliac. I have decided to come out. I am tired of people saying I am perverted! I need love and acceptance, too!"

ROFLMAO ! Only an engineer or math or physics major could have pulled this off. I hope your buddies from college still buy you beers for this.
Trust me -- its these sorts of gems that have us bustin' our guts laughin' out loud twenty-five years after the fact.

Only a real "chronic_loser" would come up with such a clever response such as that! :-)
