Ah, but James, the true art of Curmudgeonhood is to be able to find something to gripe about in every situation and every person.

I for one have found your incessant nicityness to be a constant source of curmudgeonly quips and comments.

It's sort of like my wife who awakes at 0500 each morning with a chipper "Good Morning Honey, it's the start of another wonderful day. Have you re-wired the Kitchen yet?"

I put it to you that your example is bass akwards in that if it were not for us your sort of folk would not have anyone to remind to do all those things that are good for you.

For example my wife says "Aw Honey, your not eating your salad."

And I reply "Salad is not food. Salad is food for food."

And she smiles and politly says "But it's good for you, and healthy."

To which I reply. "Dear, my loving one, I did not claw my way to the top of the food chain to graze on vegetation."

So you can take all your chipper, bright, polite and kindly words and....
Oh, yea, this is a family friendly forum.
