Man Drowns As Politically Correct Passengers Struggle To Describe What Just Went Overboard

July 19th, 2019



SAN DIEGO, CA—While sailing off the La Jolla coast Friday, a man tragically drowned after falling off a boat and being lost at sea. He could have been saved, but the other passengers who witnessed him topple over the railing spent too long debating what to yell to inform the captain that he had fallen.

"Human overboard? Person overboard? Generic sentient entity overboard?" one man mused as he sipped a strawberry daiquiri. "I don't want to be offensive here. We've got to be careful."

The woman sitting nearby him agreed. "We could just, like, do jazz hands or something and hope the captain notices?" They tried that for a while but it didn't work. "Hmmm."

For the next hour, as the boat sailed farther and farther away from the drowning man, the two worked brainstormed a comprehensive list of everything they could say that wouldn't offend anyone.

They came up with lots of ideas:

Non-gender-conforming person overboard

Another member of the patriarchy is perishing don't save him

Someone is dying but we're not sure what xis pronouns are

The sea is angry today, my diverse friends

ARRRRR shiver me timbers thar be drownin thing in that thar water

IT'S MA'AM OVERBOARD

Thar xe blows

Vaguely human-shaped object overboard

The passengers eventually settled on "something happened to some person" but it was too late.
