Make any kind of joke and inevitably someone will show up sharing their second-hand offended-ness.
Comment on I'd buy it.

Make jokes at the expense of the disabled, races, transgenders or religious people, and you will be rightly criticized and shamed for it.
Make jokes at the expense of people who are ugly, fat or short in stature, somehow that’s still okay with way too many people…

Yeah sure. So lets make racist jokes again, because every joke offends someone … ?

I don’t seem to have this problem. I wonder why we have such different experiences…

You can make jokes about everything. But if you do it at the expense of others, and the touchier and sensitive the subject, you better make sure it’s a fucking good joke.
People tend to miss that part. Especially the one about short people is always the same lame punch line - the one along the line of this post.

To be fair, I think he is short enough to be considered disabled

Pretty sure he’d be much more offended if you called him disabled than about this joke.

But it’s ALWAYS okay to make fun of guitarists.
