Do you-all agree?
"Wit is educated insolence."
---------------------------------
Sometimes.
Reminds me of the old Navy charge of "insolent obedience" where a sailor carried out orders *exactly* as given. Course that was in the bad old days when flogging was common for minor infractions and the insolent obedience was one way a common (sometimes impressed or shanghied) seaman could assert some humanity.
