Actually, I went beyond. I was in Aldis and in line to checkout with a basket full when an up the street neighbor that I have had some harsh words with on several occasions stepped in behind me with a jar of jelly...nothing else. "Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and you were out of jelly?"
Yep, that was it. Normally I might have said, "too bad you are too dumb to think ahead." But.....I stepped aside and said "go ahead of me." He damn hear collapsed with a heart attack, you should have seen the look on his face!
Diplomacy.......I know all about it and how to use it, it is shameful when I don't. Old as I am, it is not too late to try harder. Otis sees it differently, he says he would have said..."You are already a big fat ugly dumb slob...and you're buying sugar filled jelly?"
