Rudeness is but another angle on life, and it's judged by what's between the ears of the beholders. If it's dying to come out, Maestro, put your fingers down your throat and let loose.
I've had my talks with The Man. Although he's no Seinfeld there's still a certain depth to his humor. No, it's not the same as not laughing at your bosses jokes. When The Man bombs, a little giggle on your part goes a long way when you factor in eternal damnation.
His last bon mot to me, (something he said as I was in REM mode one night) was, "Don't worry, be happy."
I sat up and said, "Lord, does that mean I'll live the rest of my life in joy?"
"Nah," he said, "even God likes a catchy tune."
