Doofus, it’s the Pit. Of course it’s insulting. I thought for a while there that you were Deep. And next time you pick up a “piece of ass,” ask if she has a friend for me. ---

> [@R.P.McMurphy](#): > > BTW, I don’t need to be psychoanalyzed by anonymous people on a message board. I can find my own therapy to deal with the multitude of issues, not of my making, that I struggle with. But, psychoanalysis by anonymous people on a message board is FREE! (Seriously, this place is my cheap therapy – no co-pay) By the way, I’m in that middle ground where I’ll do something fun for my birthday, but outside of the wife and a couple of friends who I invite along, no one else has a clue what day or even month my birthday’s in. I was chatting with our HR director and said that if anyone leaks my birthdate, I’ll file suit. But that sounded harsh, so I chuckled and added “It’s so nice not to be subjected to Obligatory Supermarket Cupcakes or Off-Key Singing. Thanks for letting me keep that private.” ---

I’m not sure that you really care about that someone, based upon how “put out” you describe yourself.
