I'll give it a shot, "I thought I apologized already, but whatever…"

I saw a standup comic talking about people getting offended once and he talked about this saying. I am HEAVILY paraphrasing but...

"Im sorry you feel that way" isnt a real apology, but its how I feel about people coming to a show, laughing at 9 jokes and then being personally offended by the 10th. I dont want to offend people. That joke has killed the last 20 times I told it so while I'm not changing my jokes I genuinely am sorry they feel that way."
