Having a well-deserved reputation for being a smart-ass, I've learned to do at least a quick study of my audience before I spout off. That strategy has saved me a fortune in legal fees and has kept me eligible for health insurance. My biggest problem is that I just can't lay off a good straight line, and quick feet go well with a quick tongue. "Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps, mister! Gimme 3 steps towards the door!"

A couple of years back I was attending a mandatory "Diversity in the Workplace" workshop.
The discussion got around to the stereoptypes of traditional male/female professions. One of the instructors asked everyone if they would feel comfortable with a female piloting an airplane they were flying in.
I responded that I had no problem with it as long as she wasn't trying to put on her makeup in the rearview mirror while flying at 35,000 feet.

Talking D L

I'm not very violent by nature. If pushed I'll respond, my wife is a sweetheart, She's never pushed me. However, I have spent the last 35 years trying to convince everyone that I am an abused husband. I haven't had a taker yet. But I try.

I know it was the right decision but . . . . oh what a temptation.


Just warped humor running amok.
