I hate to sound like a jerk, even though I realize I do.
But then again, why am I not entitled to my standards like everyone else? I think consistently making jokes at the expense of folks you think are not in the room denotes 'stupidity' that is as likely indicative of ignorance as it is pubescent cowardice - anxiety about vulnerability to gay male tendencies. I think it's healthy for people to get past that stage. I'm ok, you're ok, right?

The whole, I'm going to insinuate you're gay because it's the funniest insult I can hit you with...I mean, come on. I would miserable in that kind of work environment. And, again, I am not gay. And it's quite possible that there are people around you who are not gay and who feel like you're a bunch of asses. Quite possible.
