Well, this Don Imus thing has gotten the Bubbas of America (BOA) back into the survey business. We have had a great deal of fallout on this thing and are a bit confused by the word "HO!"

How can we use it? W ho can use it? What does it mean? So, we have made the following rule changes here at the BOA to be more Politically Correct.

From now on Santa Claus will be banned as he utters the clearly racist exclamation, "Ho, ho, ho!" He can't say that even if he is on his sled ready to begin delivering on Christmas Eve. No mo ""HO!"

There will be no public mourning of Hawaiian singer, Don Ho, who died recently.

From now on you can't say "HO" at a wedding or a funeral, it just ain't fittin'.

All pirate movies will be censored if they contain the phrase "Yo, ho, ho." This could be interpreted to mean "Hey you HO!

All references to the Seven Dwarfs will be banned due to the song "High-ho!" which is offensive to sex workers of enhanced stature.

The higher up you go in your company, the more you can''t say "HO."

Any mention of farmers will cease due to their use of hoes, a racist, sexist farm implement. Folks here in Santa Rosa North can''t say "I hoed my garden." What would that mean? How would it be taken? It could clearly be offensive to the garden.

The Lone Ranger will be eliminated from popular culture because he uses the patently offensive phrase, "Hi Ho Silver." You can't use the word "HO" now, even to a horse.

All "Ho-downs" will be terminated as a racist affront to non-Southern White Christians. The Farmers' Opry up county will not be allowed to do no mo "HO" downs with Country Music. From now on they can only say, "Get Down" or "Dance Down." It is a sad thing, but we have to do it.

Finally, the phrases "Heave-Ho," "Heidi HO," "Gung HO," and "Tally HO," will be stricken from the official Bubba dictionary and used no more. We wouldn't want to offend the Reverend Al and his buddy Jesse. We don't want to offend anyone, we just want to be allowed to say what we want and not live in fear that our livelihood and jobs won't be taken from us if we say things that other comedians, rappers, and extortionists can say.

Yeah, RIGHT! Just thought you'd like to know...
