No, just kidding, Mariann!...Chris is full of shit.<br /><br />No, just kidding, Mariann! ;-)<br /><br />I actually read this last night, but forgot to comment because I'm as distractible as a bird on a cat ranch. But I'm glad I waited, because I heard a discussion about this on NPR this afternoon, with some people praising this man as a hero, and some ragging on him for dishonoring his profession. <br /><br />Personally, I think his behavior was highly unprofessional at best, possibly criminal at worst. <br /><br />But here's the great part: I was able to listen to this broadcast and feel intelligent because I'd already read your excellent post, which is not only just as insightful as NPR's coverage, but much, much funnier. <br /><br />So I guess what I'm saying, even though it pains me to admit it, is that Chris is right. <br /><br />Sigh.MikeWJ at Too Many Morningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05357719098554598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-2168596609223515262010-08-11T22:44:46.046-05:002010-08-11T22:44:46.046-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.MikeWJ at Too Many Morningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05357719098554598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-83922464724051642722010-08-11T19:00:55.048-05:002010-08-11T19:00:55.048-05:00Wow, thanks Chris.

Hey, in my given profession there are days I'd LOVE to go off on people. But I don't. I represent my organization at all times, and have to behave accordingly.<br /><br />Second, the writing: Possibly the funniest piece of yours that I've read. I have some suggestions, but I'll cover those in an email.<br /><br />Great work, Mariann!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794712479594188124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-8352021530072758242010-08-11T13:33:34.081-05:002010-08-11T13:33:34.081-05:00Yeah, well if someone's going to find the bad ...Yeah, well if someone's going to find the bad in everything, leave it to me! ;)Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-5226887879824442010-08-11T09:34:40.145-05:002010-08-11T09:34:40.145-05:00I only got the story second-hand, from MY WIFE.

Poor guy, things like this happen everyday and even tho I don't know exactly what they guy did (other than what was in yr blog) I think he was wrong also. Course I could be wrong as oblivious as I have been to almost everything the past couple of weeks. <br /><br />I did enjoy this blog thoNannersnoreply@blogger.com
