*LOL* Reminds me of a comment my stepfather made, when I was around 14. A certain minister in Harrisonville was all puffed up, strutting and spouting holier than thou platitudes. Gordon smiled and nodded through the whole diatribe...and as the man strutted away Gordon muttered "pontifical ass" juuuust loud enough for the man to hear.
I about fell over when said minister turned around with a beaming smile, bowed to Gordon and said "Why thank you sir, I'm glad someone sees how important I am."
Now listen here...I was very sheltered at that age, but even *I* knew what Gordon had called the guy! So now every time I start feeling all important...I recall that moment.
