Spring! (....boing!)

Today is the official first day of spring!

I thought the first day of spring was on 1st March, but I don't mind being wrong, becaise this way I get to celebrate twice! =)

It's so nice and sunny today.

Like it was last week, the first time I celebrated spring.

The thing is, I have come to realise that the sun is very deceiving, because I stopped wearing Eskimo clothes, and I have now got the worst cough and cold I've had all winter.

Actually, you can't call Eskimos 'Eskimos' anymore, you have to call them 'First People'. Apparently the term 'Eskimo' is no longer politically correct.
Which I think is stupid, because surely calling yourself a 'First People' (or 'First Person'?!) is not politically correct?
I mean, how do they know for sure if they were actually the 'First People'?
And even if they were, is it politically correct to use it to distinguish themselves and make themselves superior to everyone else?

Plus, I don't know what the big deal is about calling them Eskimos, because I'm unlikely to offend them, because I never talk to Eskimos. I prefer to go to warm places on holiday.

Unless....

Hmm....

Maybe some of them have immigrated here.

Oh well.

'First People' is it then.


The definition of 'Politically Correct Terminology' in 'The Cynic's Dictionary' is:
Inadvertently comical euphemisms mandated by committees of humourless adademicians for the purposes of offending no group except believers in free speech.

Example:
Abundantly capitalized individual = Rich Man
Financially challenged individual = Poor Man
Self-employed outdoor monetary solicitor = Beggar Man
Personal-property appropriation specialist = Thief
