Hiya Handsome,

>... stereotypes 
RLA>> ... Always amused at a comment my husband once made to another 
RLA>> disabled person. He thanked the pest for reminding him that 
RLA>> just because he was handicapped didn't automatically make him a 
RLA>> "nice guy" <snicker>

M> From my own experience on both sides of the matter, crippled and 
M> sick people - temporary or permanent - can be the worst of tyrants, 
M> at least to those who are taking care of them.

<evil grin> Try 9 years geriatric nursing );-)

Seriously thought I know what you mean. I know people who firmly believe that 
someone's from a similar group as them then it's an automatic character 
refrence. One of my favourate rants comments how not all <insert 
social/professional group> are <insert traditional stereotype>. It's a rather 
long list, although I usually waver on the politicians <evil grin>

>... 
RLA>> Heard any Billy Conerly (?sp)'s rants about visiting Australia. 
RLA>> Especially his efforts in getting a tan );-)

M> Billy's okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to him.

M> Moebius, who prefers more intellectual comedy.

<chuckle> Not much of a choice here. Living with a Ethnic Scott & all );-)
