Heads up: If former Florida governor and undeclared presidential hopeful Jeb Bush hires you to help him become president, he’ll likely ask you to delete your jokes about “sluts.”

That is, at least, the case with Ethan Czahor, the California-based creator of hipster.com who Time reported Monday had been hired as Bush’s new Chief Technology Officer. A quick perusal of Czahor’s Twitter page reveals him as mostly using the service as an outlet for his flavor of tech bro, one-liner humor:

You’ll notice, though, that there aren’t any jokes there about “sluts.” That’s because, as a spokesperson for Bush told BuzzFeed, his office had requested Czahor take down those “inappropriate” tweets. BuzzFeed, however, screengrabbed several of them.

“new study confirms old belief: college female art majors are sluts, science majors are also sluts but uglier,” reads one. “most people don’t know that ‘halloween’ is German for ‘night that girls with low self-esteem dress like sluts,’” goes another.

He also deleted a few other blue zingers about women and sex. “i know lindsey lohan is supposed to die soon, but i’d sure like to sleep with her before that happens,” and “there are now 12 girls that will never amount to anything greater than being ‘some girl that slept with tiger woods.’”

To be fair to Czahor, most of his tweets are several years old—the Tiger Woods one was at least from date-appropriate 2009. As of this writing, he’s now tweeted precisely once in 2015.
