Harvey is annoyed with guys who want to chat with him at inappropriate times (he HATES stupid people *G*)
When I've got Mr. Happy in my hand, the LAST damn thing I want to do is chat about the weather, or work, or anything else for that matter. All I want to do is deflate the pigskin & get the hell out. If I want stimulating conversation, I'll call 1-900-HOT-TALK.
This naturally reminded me of something I read. One of my favorite Winston Churchill stories. It was recounted in one of the William Manchester books "The Last Lion" (if I recall correctly it was in volume 1 "Visions of Glory : 1874-1932). But I found it online over at anecdotage.com.
Winston Churchill entered a men's washroom in the House of Commons one day and, observing Labor leader Clement Attlee standing before the urinal, took up his stance at the opposite end of the room. "Feeling stand-offish today, are we, Winston?" Attlee chirped. "That's right," Churchill replied. "Every time you see something big, you want to nationalize it."
*sppppfffft!*
Damn! Another keyboard sprayed with a fine mist of nasally-strained coffee.
