OK, I propose then we replace the tabs with just a single link labeled "Please click here if you'd like a dick joke".

Then have more detailed tabs on a dedicated page.

You can make a dick joke without assuming the listener is the owner of a dick.

The conflict here is that a joke where you include the listener is automatically funnier, and a dick joke is also automatically funnier.

So the challenge lies in combining both, resulting in either the listener, or someone the listener is interacting with in the narrative having a dick.

It's one of the big unsolved problems of telling jokes online.
