Never Apologize for Your Humor
I see it time and again in satire. People will poke fun at something contreversial or perhaps a public figure, but if confronted they're quick to apologize for bring up a subject. But satire is important. Laughter is important. Not taking everything oh-so-very serious all the time is important.
If Your Joke Falls Flat, Blame Your Pet

Ask any woman who forgot to get a bikini wax before the Big Date, and she'll agree with me.
Anyway, remember: if you're not funny, blame a pet.
Here's an example. I think it would make a great T-Shirt... imho:
