I saw this joke on another message board, immediately thought of a few friends who had cats, and emailed them about it.

Slightly Scorched Lump of Man-Flesh says: asshat. Slightly Scorched Lump of Man-Flesh says: That’s such a quaint little word Slightly Scorched Lump of Man-Flesh says: carries such a sweet, liltingly scathing conntation erin louise says: yes, especially when used in the sentence “let me be your asshat” Slightly Scorched Lump of Man-Flesh says: Ah, allow me to riposte with “Control your asshat, lest your asshat control you.” Slightly Scorched Lump of Man-Flesh says: “To asshat, or, in fact, not to.” Slightly Scorched Lump of Man-Flesh says: That’s a favorite of mine too erin louise says: or the prayer “our father, who art in asshat…” Slightly Scorched Lump of Man-Flesh says: Yeah, or classics such as “The Sound of Asshat” or “Asshat Graffiti” * * * Pasted this small bit of IM conversation into another IM window, because I’d wanted to share those deep brown nuggets of wisdom with the person in the second window.

I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward somone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heals our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other. –Elizabeth Kubler-Ross [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-control-v-game/194722.md?page=13) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-control-v-game/194722.md?page=15)
