applies to everyone unless their name is Jackson, in which case they can flagrantly disregard it? Well, that's nice to hear. Perhaps I failed to provide enough background on exactly what a snappy answer to a stupid question is, and the theory behind it.

I was going through a divorce when I started that. I got a lot of my hostility out through Snappy Answers.

Aha! So you were warned by the topic of the thread that the punch line could, in fact, contain some grain of perceived hostility (although I personally feel that this particular snappy answer of mine is built more out of sarcasm than hostility). At no point did I imply that my friend "Cat" is a stupid person. I'd be a jerk if I called a friend of mine stupid behind her back, which I did not. All I said was that she asked me a stupid question, OK, dude? Intelligence is not a vaccine that protects you from doing stupid things. Stupid questions can be, and often are, asked by intelligent people.

Had my snappy answer included the phrase, "Here's Your Sign!" I'd be a jerk. When I see "Cat" I may in fact use that phrase to her face () while I am giving her the snappy answer that she missed yesterday afternoon because it just wasn't quite snapppy enough, and I may even apply a dork stamp to her forehead. It's possible (one might even say highly probable) that some of our co-workers will even hear about this on Monday. In fact, I predict that "Cat" herself will call me a "jerk" at least twice by lunch time Monday.

Meanwhile, I guess I'll have to be shocked at your online conduct and lack of Netiquette for a while, if I ever get over it. I don't know. I think I'm in Netshock or something right now.

Besides, this is not the MoFT so there's no DBaJ rule in here so what's your point?

Take my wife ... please.

What did I tell you about putting her in the refrigerator? I don't think I can revive her a third time.

"Does Dog know you're borrowing his car?"

Yeah - and he said I could borrow his bitch too, so hop in.

I can't believe he didn't get that! What, was Duke born 9 years ago or something? Never heard of the show? So sad. So so sad. Trying to own you and get you banned but getting owned himself in return.

Nah, I should go easy on him. His wife's in a coma.

God forbid someone doesn't catch a reference to a sitcom that aired 10-19 years ago.

That's no moon!

Just for the record, Cat called me an "ass" the first time I brought it up this morning.
Every time after that it was, "smurf you, Duke!"
We were outside smoking on our first break and I noticed that John's car was gone, having been replaced by his son's. I said, "Cat, do you s'pose Dog knows Pup took his car?"
"smurf you, Duke, you ass!"
"No, really, Cat, we're talking about Pup now. Ya s'pose Dog knows his car is gone?" (It turned out that yeah, Dog knew. But you gotta keep an eye on that Pup. He's a juvenile delinquent.)
Then when we were all clocking out just now I said, "So, Cat, are you driving your van home or are you gonna borrow someone else's car without them knowing about it?"
