I wish I had a filter for my mouth when I'm hypo.

Depending on the nature of your job, you may want to be very careful about who you choose to make these comments to. If it was made to colleagues who share similar views and have passed similar comments in the past, I'm not saying it's okay, but be careful.

As for random colleagues that you bump into at the water fountain you really do need to be careful about what you say. They may not understand it. They may misinterpret it. And they may very well relay messages to your boss that you don't want.

I guess my point is - you're better off being on guard and thinking beforehand those that you really shouldn't be making remarks to. Picture a red flag in their hand. When you see them, visualize the red flag. Do not engage in personal conversations with them and banter about your job with quirky comments. Keep those conversations STRICTLY professional. Train yourself not to say more than you have to. You may come across as a little aloof during this phase but if it were me I'd rather be slightly aloof than yabber something that gets straight back to my boss
