Well - first off, thank you for the laugh. Most of the kids in my class aren't
as smart as their grades claim. Last year I told a few off with "Go take a long
walk off a short peir" and they didn't quite grasp it right away.

After a time, that Gideon line became apparent to me (thanks, drago LOL) and I
found that that whole line with the added "...and, following that train of
thought, there is a complete and absolute moron somewhere in the universe. He's
sitting over there." Got them a little like "huh?" LOL. Could get anymore funny
then seeing a bunch of stuck-up smart-asses trying to figure out something so
simple.Thanks for the laugh.

Oh, out of curiosity, is there anywhere I can fins enough (good) information to
make a report on you? It seems that they had to tell the teachers (what a
moron) and I've gotten a wonderful extra assignment. "make a report on that
person whom you heard that from".


Thanks --

Of all the things that are dangerous in the galaxy, only one thing can never be
stopped. Fire. No matter what, you need warmth, light. If fire is gone, all we
will become is ice. With fire, devastation comes. The price of the universe was
never this high.

I dunno, probably any of the grand jury hearings would suffice....

That apart, do a yahoo search...you'll get more than anyone would want to know.

Joe, are you sure you don't want a capital Y there instead of a lower-case
one...?

Then in very bad taste. I've seen too many posts like that, from too many people
that weren't joking. It isn't pretty.

the masses:

Er, as I read it, the joke was a play on the phrase "yahoo search" --
as in "search for yahoos" -- rather than being Yet Another Anal
Retentive Typing Critique®. Just because you don't get the joke
doesn't mean it is in bad taste; at most it wasn't to *your* taste. I
got a (small) chuckle out of it, and it didn't seem intended as an
insult, so I think your reaction is a little heavy-handed...

Or maybe it was a yartsy, and I'm the one who didn't get it. ;^)

I think someone's read Gulliver's Travels one too many times...


Cassius' Quote of the Day:

Sun Tzu: "What is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's
strategy." (It works for criticism too)
