I do not suffer fools gladly. In fact, I don’t suffer fools at all – my tendency is to either reach out and slap them upside the head (which I’m not allowed to do at my job) or to get progressively more irritated as the day goes on.

No wonder Zuul resides in my stomach.

Today has been a banner day for fools and idiocy in my little corner of the world. I’m beginning to seriously ponder if “hermit” constitutes a valid career choice. Hermits don’t have to deal with idiots. They just live in their caves and ignore everyone. But I don’t think hermits are so keen on the tech, so that won’t work for me. Is piracy still valid? I could handle being a pirate. Pirates would like tech. And I could work drunk on rum, which would make handling fools easier. And if I didn’t like them, I could run them through with my cutlass. And I could have a pet monkey.

Piracy…why did it ever go out of style?
