I voted sexual harassment, but they still haven't hired any females at work, so I'm not terribly worried about it.

Yep, depends entirely on the workplace.

90% of people won't care as long as you use common sense. Make sure you know the person well, and don't go blurting those jokes out constantly or at inappropriate times. It's that 10% that are just looking for a payday that you've got to watch out for.

If you work with average-joe type guys, you're fine. Average-janes? Let them fire the first shots and make sure you know them well.

Management. Nope, not appropriate.

Unfortunately, most work places are toxic environments now. Like walking along a mine field. Always that one asshole looking to take innocent remarks and use them for their own personal gains.

Work places are uptight. Don't say that or anything like that. You never know who will get their panties in a bunch and report you to HR.

Spoken like someone who has seen some shit man.

I generally operate the same way though.

If you think that phrase is even remotely funny- sure. Say it a lot. Say it all the time. Especially to women, managers, and people you don't know well. If anybody gets in your shit about it, hold your ground and stand up for your rights. I promise, everything will work out for the best.
