That is such a standard elevator gag from forever. My mother used to say that. It’s not sexist or anything! My mother want trying to get into the panties of anyone riding the elevator, she was making a freaking joke.

The joke is a take on the 1930s elevator operators in NYC department stores who would shout out the different departments as the elevator stopped on that floor. “ladies lingerie” just happens to be the funniest of the departments. Jeez Louise.

Am I allowed to say Jeez Louise, or does it have to be Louis now?

Um...say what? Maybe some typos in that sentence?

In the 21st Century, humor has gone missing. Instead of laughing, people now angle to be offended by anything. It’s actually a very sick way of showing power over that person by brow beating them into a groveling apology over an offense so minor, one needs a scanning electron microscope to find it.

WINNER!
I’ve heard that joke my entire life, every elevator ride ever. Even in a three story building.
PC has killed humor.
Smiling, joking and laughing are no longer allowed.
