Hey now... I'm a blue-collar dude without a dental plan! I just don't have a huge belt buckle, and I wouldn't be caught dead in public wearing a wife-beater. Or anything with "NASCAR" on it for that matter.... I's a sophistimacated redneck. :-D

I still remember the old adage about judging a book by its cover. Some of the dumbest people I know have Ph.D's. And I know one high-school-dropout carpenter who speaks 7 languages, plays 3 instruments, and has read enough books to converse with anyone about almost anything. Sheepskins and white collars - by themselves - do not impress me, obviously. No offense meant to those of you with the above.

This thread kinda got me thinking. Suppose someone compliments your "skirt" in passing. Would they have even spoken to you were you wearing trousers? Even if they had, they likely wouldn't say "nice pants!" Especially guys. That would be gay, you know.

Life is too short to stress out over ignoramuses. If you let them all get to you at once, all your hair would turn white, and you'd shrivel up and die in minutes. Which is why I say -

illegitimus non carborundum
