New My response?
When it becomes UnAmerican to be a smartass, America will exist in name only. While the spirit of this country breathes, we all have to keep its spirit alive in any way we can, and one way I do it is to remain a smartass.

Cheers,
Ben

New Well, I'm with ya on that one.
When I was a kid, and somebody said something stupid, I'd object, and then he'd say "don't be such a smartass." To which I'd reply "better a smartass than a dumbass like you."

Usually that shut them up. But sometimes it just made them louder. And oftentimes it brought on physical violence. But I could usually win a physical fight with a stupid opponent. It's hard *not* to be able to block or dodge a roundhouse punch.

New That's a bet you'd lose.
I don't run. I'm not built for it, emotionally or physically. I stand my ground and fight dirtier (and way smarter) than the other guy. Eventually I win.

Sorry, what? I wasn't listening. I was fantasizing that I was far away, very alone, and reading a book.
