Reminds me of the time I was asked to do the kids entertainment at a country fair, and they put me on a stage in a barn with the petting zoo.
They had a rooster that sounded off about every 30 seconds, and one of the puppets said “Oh shut up”. Huge laugh, so it became a running gag. All the puppets were doing it and it got a huge laugh AND the audience joined in.
After one show a lady came up and was totally offended I said shut up “because we teach our children not to say that” blah blah blah.
In a world of f-bombs she was offended by shut up????
