RE: RAT Lefty Conspiracy Theorists?
>And what, exactly , defines an asshole? do they have identifying marks?
Reprinted From the Audubon Guide to Assholes and Jerks
"The North American asshole can generally be identified by his/her behavior.
An asshole will behave like an asshole. Assholeish behavior covers a wide
spectrum but is usually easy to spot. If it is difficult for you to
distinguish assholes consider the possibility that you may be being
intentionally obtuse or you may yourself be an asshole."
