Well, John, there are women here that have a hardspot with the phrase 'the wife.' The wife here doesn't have a problem with that, but as she is a few years older than i am,it's a little more sensitive here.

Also, if my kid calls me the old man, that's okay. When kids i was patrolling with did it, it wasn't.

Oh, and if i haven't made it clear, i'm on your side about the dipshits.
