You know better than to point.

I didn't want people to think I was doing a "Skittle of Death" reenactment. Plus I didn't wear my pink 'tards.

Geez....why didn't you demonstrate this maneuver today after Thanksgiving dinner? After polishing off all that food, we could have all joined in.

While on a less sophisticated, complex scale in that I do not invent machinery and highly technical systems, I can definitely relate to your frustration. There is nothing more deflating than to have labored over something only to have it shot down or questioned by some dilbert who feels entitled to offer up his/her criticism and suggestions. Example: genealogy After many hours of research I determine that we have a 4th great grandfather who not only served in the Revolutionary War, but was a personal friend of the renowned Lafayette. I share this information with some relative who 30 minutes before didn't even know the ancestor's name, but now they have channeled his spirit and are able to inform me that I must be mistaken. How could I possibly know this? What makes me think I am correct? Perhaps we are sensitive to this unsolicited "help" because we come from a family that thrives on self-deprecation and low self-esteem. We were raised on it, Bubba. So climb up on your soap box and rant on, but please leave enough room for me to get up there, too.

That's as good as the time she answered the phone while sound asleep and told the unsuspecting caller that she "was just calling to place a bid on that puppy."

I'd say that was a good gambit. That reminds me of the old commercial where the colonial woman was standing in her living room when she hears Paul Revere ride by. The camera zooms in on her as she laments, "The British are coming and the house is a mess!"
Now if someone could accurately predict when Hell is going to freeze over, just think of the stuff that will get done!

You know, that "end of the world" crapola was a real crock. I thought "what the heck....I won't do the laundry." And wouldn't you know it? The world spins on, albeit slightly off its axis, and I have a pile of dirty towels.
