I definitely wouldn't let it bother you...you offered your apology to whomever was offended...not many I'm sure.
When I was working in a 5 story office building, if anyone did something funny - or say, decorating the office door in the main hallway for a 50th birthday or anything....I was the first person they thought was responsible...
I don't know why........maybe because another gal and I had a surprise party for one of our bosses and got his wife's permission ahead of time to get a singing belly dancer come in as he cut the cake. :-D :D
Anyway, anytime a new patient and their spouse/family joined our office I made sure to tell them (once I got to know them better) that IF I SAID OR DID ANYTHING THAT OFFENDED THEM I WANTED THEM TO TELL ME.......
.....BECAUSE ....IF THEY DIDN'T TELL ME AND I DID IT AGAIN IT THEN WOULDN'T BE MY FAULT!
I also warned them that as professional as I could be, what they saw was what they got...I didn't have time in my life to do otherwise.
I have never had any complaints or problems.
And I love jokes! One DIL is blonde! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I used to patiently explain to them this definition of a real Yankee.
The people who live in Tennesee and Kentucky and states in a line with Indiana, indignantly say: "We are not yankees!" Its those people who live up New York way....
When you ask, The people in NY and Jersey say, WE are not yankees ( except for baseball) Those people live up in Maine, NH and Vermont.
When you ask any New Englander from those states, who the REAL Yankees are, they will tell you this....
Ayah.... its those Vermonters who eat pie for breakfast!!!
Being a native of NH, well.... We laugh at ourselves!
