Fortunately most people are not by nature condescending jackasses.

Or, in the case of current t, pampered and clueless.
I know, right? I think at best, it just helps people adjust to other people to the point that they at least can delude themselves into believing that they're carrying out a reasonable approximation of the veneer of civilization.

Ah, current T -- I keep fantasizing about trying your brilliant line and asking her if she runs into Henry VIII while playing court tennis

(Sadly though, I believe, it'll completely escape her.)
Thanks for this!
