There’s really no place for it. Have I done it? Not really. I might have laced a misplaced joke here or there, but I seldom try to make the other side feel stupid or try to embarrass them. What does that ever get you? What spurred this thought? I was…

Solve the immediate problem and then the next one…and the next one. Until you get to the other side. As quoted by Marc on the meat deal. I get in trouble when I go into my dark spots and wallow in the sheer amount of work I think I need…
