Okay, so I do this joke where I say that I am a natural beauty (after making fun of my imperfections) and then proceed to say "I am a NATURAL beauty, much like some of the pretty young things here...with their NATURAL pretty faces and their NATURAL skinny bodies...it's too bad you're all whores!" May sound harsh, but it is a pretty funny line that usually brings quite a bit of laughter. BUT as the audiences in the clubs get younger and younger, the line is getting less and less laughter. Older women can find humour in a joke that states that if you are skinny...you must be a whore....BUT the younger girls take it to heart. They automatically assume that you mean it and then their claws come out!
I don't want to take the joke out of my repitoire because it leads into other jokes..so I think if I reword it, it may be all, and no feelings will be hurt.
So...this is how I will reword it. "I am a NATURAL beauty, much like the pretty young things you see in Playboy, or Vogue, or Canadian Quilter magazines......whores. (said in a deadpan voice). I think the rewording will work much better, will stop people from wanting to scratch my eyes out, and will still get a laugh.
What do you think Boober?

New joke is still funny, but I like the old one :) I like the quilting reference though, quilting is huge right now!!
It is? Lucky guess on my part. I just figured...only Canadian Quilters are sexier than the girls in Playboy and Vogue!
Thanks for the feedback Tina...mucho appreciated! Keep it comin'!
As a young person, I found the joke incredibly funny!!! I say keep it...
Yeah...don't change...if they can't take the joke...well you know the rest.
