Disgusted, Etc.

[Alan]

Hmmm .... To be dis-gusted suggests that ones gusts have been removed,
just as one cannot regurgitate a meal unless it has previously been
gurgitated. Can't fight that sort of logic, now, can you!

On a more serious note (I think C# is a darned serious note, myself) you
have circled and landed on the truth like a rapacious buzzard on a week
old *BSO. But if the analogy holds ("Holds what?" you may ask, but
please don't) then truth, itself, has become like that poor fetid fellow
and is also dead--or at least in mortal jeopardy (which is one level
more serious than Double Jeopardy and if you lose this contest you don't
even get a fabulous home version of the game).

And there's the rub! (In the medicine cabinet. The blue jar on the top
shelf.)

If it is a crime (dare I say "sin") to give offense--and it is if and
only if it is intentionally done--then it is ten times, nay 100 times
worse to go around taking offense--especially when none is intended.

It seems that people theseadays are so intent on being offended that
much of the fun has gone out of our lives. Which I think is what you
said but I'm not sure because I only read it with one eye.

Anyway, I had a fine mare once who neighed 100 times and the cost was
frightful: she reverted to her state as a young filly, becoming, as it
were, a little hoarse. It was exhausting. And--believe me--you don't
want to be around when a horse sheds its haust!

The phrase "Lighten Up!" was invented for our time! (By Thomas Edison, I
think.)

abbreviated such a long word?
