I love this! Stealing it tomorrow.

For some of you this has turned a bit nasty. I just wanted some lighthearted amusing things for people to look at as they came into our otherwise rather dreary space. I don’t want to punish them for coming in. Sorry if that wasn’t clear in the OP.

This thread reminds me of a little ditty (a little dated but fun)

> **[Stan Rogers - White Collar Holler Lyrics | LetsSingIt Lyrics](https://www.letssingit.com/stan-rogers-lyrics-white-collar-holler-4w27q3z)**

> Lyrics of WHITE COLLAR HOLLER by Stan Rogers: Well I rise up every morning at a quarter to eight, Some woman who's my wife tells me not to be late, I kiss ...

No one’s gonna fold, bend or mutilate me!
