100 Confessions: Jokes

(88) I will make jokes at a certain expense of personal professionalism.

Example from an event the other night. An alum of the Washington Journalism Center began describing a story he chased that took him into gay bars. Students aren't allowed to drink in the program. So he asked legitimately, and to the interest of other students.

Alum: "I'm not sure I was allowed to enter a bar. Did I break policy?"
Me: "No. You brokeback policy."

Other examples: here, here.
