I did, but she refused to confirm your claim and insisted on knowing how I’d found your house. Seemed a bit paranoid to me, frankly. ---

I am the other co-chair of the Royal Pain in the Ass Society, along with @burpo_the_wonder_mutt . Though I’m secretly plotting to have him ousted so I can be chair all by myself. ---

Back when I was in charge of the National Pain in the Ass Society, the chair was known as the Ass-Man (or Woman), or just “the Ass”. @burpo_the_wonder_mutt and @CairoCarol and their woke, politically correct animal-lover do-gooder friends splintered off to form the so-called “Royal” Pain in the Ass Society in protest because they considered me being called the Ass was an insult to donkeys. ---

I’m not a pain in the ass. I am, however, the head janitor at the National Pain in the Ass Society Headquarters Building in Washington, DC, and I’m in charge of a staff of thirty-seven janitors. ---
