I got fined for ordering a black coffee

[Pufflette]

I got fined in a caf� for ordering a black coffee. Following my order a member of the PC brigade wrestled me to the ground and issued the �1000 fine. After attending a PC correction facility I realise that the correct term is:

One coffee without a lactose supplement, please.

The adjective 'black' is exclusionary and has a direct and shameful correlation with the slave trade.

Maybe this should have been posted in Jokes?


Or in Drivel.

Well i'll go to the foot of my stairs, political correctness gone horribly wrong!!!! Black is only the name of a colour not a race. This is a disgrace and things like this make me soooooo mad!! I feel so sorry for you Pufflette, there simply was no need for the actions taken against you. God help our society!!

So, whatever you do, don't ask for Niger shoe polish when you go into the cobblers.

[shelby45]

Would the same have happened if you had ordered a 'white' coffee????? I doubt it!

[craft1948]

you're up the swanee if you want to go black-berrying then....

[mollykins]

please tell me this didn't really happen

[chelle7272]

lol craft, took me a sec that...

[shelby45]

I'd write to the flippin papers if I were you. You know the one that is 'black' 'white' and red all over,

[shelby45]

What on earth made them wrestle you to the ground???? And why such a heavy fine??? I bet they missed the mass murdered around the corner that day!

[craft1948]

my ......shelby's entering into the spirit of thngs......go girl.....

[Ankou]

agree with rollo.

which cafe was it then ? most cafes i know always serve coffee as it comes naturally and then ask if you want milk with it.

[shelby45]

Well, honestly!!

[shelby45]

Is Pufflette now going to be tagged as a racist because of this innocent order. How humiliating!!

[stewey]

Good golli: what a hair raising experience!

[jake-the-peg]

Perhaps you should carry a copy of the Guardian and then they'll realise your use of the term bl@ck was just post modernist ironry and therefore OK

I hope it was far trade coffee or they'll wrestle you to the ground again!

They might force you to wear a Burka next time!

Maybe they just like wrestling you to the ground

Perhaps you should have ordered decaffinated instead.

shoulda been posted in the Crap Jokes section.
