Conservative People

My heart honestly goes out to these people. These are the people who... avoid sexual jokes and innuendo, shy from cussing and rude gestures, say dang instead of damn, say shoot instead of shit.

What sort of life are these people living?

They are living very sad, miserable and lonely lives. For example, the other day Big Michelle and I met up with Little Mishelle for lunch. We walked over to meet at sci-by with another friend, Chris. We got there, introduced Little Mishelle to Chris and then Chris asked if he could have a private word with Big Michelle. Little Mishelle proceeded to say, "That's fine. Have your way with her. "

Chris is a very nice person but, that being said, very conservative. Very polite, nice, generally pleasant, does not swear, does not make sexual jokes, don't know if he even has a sexuality (har har...). When Little Mishelle said these fateful words a sort of... universal quiet fell upon us. Chris fell silent. I fell silent, just knowing. Big Michelle looked at Little Mishelle as if to say, "Bitch, you trippin'?" and Little Mishelle just looked confused.

I think it's because Little Mishelle misread the situation. You see, all these years I've known Little Mishelle we have always made dirty jokes, been generally filthy yet awesome. So I think being in the presence of myself and Big Michelle, another quite filthy girl, she was mislead into believing Chris would be equally filthy. She was wrong.

Big Michelle and I, on the other hand, already knew Chris so could make a judgement about whether it was appropriate to make jokes about Chris having the sex with Big Michelle. It wasn't.

I feel like being that conservative is kind of a downer. Half the joys in my life come from being crass and outspoken. I mean, if you're a conservative person do you even feel comfortable going out and meeting new people if they're not like you? I mean, it puts people like me in an awkward situation too. I meet you, you're very pleasant and friendly and I have no aversion to you. I notice you don't swear. Perhaps you wear a sweater vest. All that time I am spending with you, I am pleading inside to be able to make some crude gesture.

What sort of life is this, I ask you?

I remember this one time I went to watch a play and it was full of sexual innuendos and I told you about it and you said "Sexual innuendos?!? Those are my favourite kind of innuendos!!!!!!"

I have never forgotten that.

Lols, I didn't even think it was a terribly offensive statement - that to me was just my way of saying 'sure bro, do whatever you want, you can have a word with her, that's totes fine' and then you guys looked at me with disdain, as if I had killed someone o.o It's strange though, because I guess I'm conservative in regards to some things (avoid swearing, clothing, etc) but then CLEARLY not in regards to others....
