I spent sometime professionally as a cartoonist, so I got paid to see the humour in things. However, people of late have gotten so overly sensitive about everything it seems to me. I especially notice it when visiting Y!A, people tend to take issue and find offense in the most innocent remarks or turns of phrases. So here I am, wanting to ask a question concerning something that used to be considered mildly amusing but afraid I'll get a violation instead of honest answers. Hopefully people will see some validity in my question to not have that happen. Here goes.
It would be funny, in an ironic sort of way, if you met someone whose last name fit their occupation. Such as if they were a chef and their name was Cook, or a bank teller and their name was Clerk. In this way it's funny because they opted to choose a job which matched their last name. But it also used to be funny in an ironic way when a person's last name happened to be associated in some way with who they happened to be.
