If politeness is about placing people at ease, then I don't think your remark, since it's self-deprecating humour, could be inappropriate. I'll have to thank an etiquette teacher of many years ago for her course, although it's never too late to practise civility.
Maybe if we were all more civil, there'd be fewer people who are unwell, as well as trigger-happy 3rd world countries who can't make dollar-store-quality-toys. My little world feels so much smaller with any mention of "nuclear" threats.
My avatar shows my change from my childhood's sensitivity to skin blemishes of the same colour but they're seductive now, and the juices are sweet and something to look forward to.
I was going to call myself a pepper head, but apparently that has a derogatory term in another culture, so context and so many other things can make us laugh or cry.
I have a lot more laughing I wish I could do
