Yes, Wendy, now that you mention it, the word "moron" just gets funnier and
funnier every time I read it. I am forever indebted to you for alerting me to
the man's genius. Somehow I missed it. Fortunately, I have received numerous
messages explaining to me what His Brilliance "really" meant. Geniuses have a
cool way of not being required to say what they mean, because their
Explainers will Explain everything later. And that's called humor. It's all
clear to me now.
Good luck with your marital aspirations, and thanks for sharing.
