Major General Michael Healey passed away last April.
Wasn't it Capone's henchmen who would say to their victim: "Nothing personal, strictly business."
So that's alright then.
This reminds me of a sequence I saw on Live P.D. the other night.
A cop stopped a car because he observed one or more of the people in the back seat put on their seat belts when the cruiser came into view. No big deal, right?
Except the driver, a middle aged pear-shaped man let flow a tide of profanity at the officers for doing their job, which includes asking for ID at the beginning of any routine police stop.
Considering what was being hurled at them, the officers kept their cool and let it all slide off. I wanted to reach through the screen and snap the driver's neck.
You need to buy more/better quality sparkling wine for the put-up and take-down events.The dewy-eyed bride is making louder noises about putting up Christmas decorations. We have a couple of large plastic storage bins full of the stuff — really nice stuff, too, both vintage and of more recent manufacture. But we have no good place for a tree, although we have several quite substantial houseplants — large ficus benjaminas and a couple of big potted palms and dracaenas and the like. But putting up and then taking down all that swag is a several hour process. A PITA, is what it is.
A "David Letterman reference". Hmmm...When you make a David Letterman reference, and have to say "yeah, I know that dates me..."
I'm going to go look for another catchphrase. I think that there are some good ones in the hall closet...I'll stick to my horse!
Think of the neighbour that you would most loathe to move in next door. Think of the cinema customer who arrives ten minutes into the film and takes another ten minutes to settle in the seat, rustling confectionery wrappings and talking loudly. Think of all the other similar discourteous types with their selfish habits. They all go to Benidorm for two weeks. It's like a right of passage, two weeks boozing and puking. Going lobster red, causing yet more sickness, but they don't learn, even when the dermis is burnt back to the third layer down. They have come here to get a tan, and they intend to get their money's worth."Well, it was over 50 years ago and things do change."

How sad am I to remember this:Just remember to use Pepsodent twice a day, see your dentist twice a year.
My wife has been saying to me that the new doctors she is sent to see look like they are just out of diapers.

Enough good sparkling wine can make almost any job turn into a party.
