Cubbie and goatgod: you ain't guilty, I just needed to vent. I'm stuck at home and it's sleeting/icing outside and I have to do my FRIGGIN' Christmas cards. All 75 of them. Do you know how much money that is, in stamps? I think of Christmas cards as little presents to the recipient.

Well........I really don't remember telling jokes about my poop, so do you think this person in authority who knows so much more than me, because he tells me that all the time, meant deprecating?

Any other good examples?

This same person is also a habitual "mute point" user
