Email: Irreverence and tolerance [AS]

Irreverent is good! I have to work not to be so automatically. (At the ad agency, I saw a sign on the way to work that said Hoffart Construction, so after our staff meeting, I pulled one writer aside and told her the sign immediately made me think of a joke: "How do you make a Hoffart? Kick her in the c--t." Isn't that bad? Her response: "And you knew I was the only person in the company you could come and tell that joke to, didn't you?" to which I said "Yup!")

I think I know what you mean about having that good old Protestant tolerance thing going on. It's about respect, not the superiority thing that serious Catholics and Baptists seem to have going on.
