I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

I've known some Zen Buddhists who were jackasses.

Hey, my cousin's husband's father founded a big zen center out in the midwest...but he's dead now.

Huh, a picture of Las Cruces was a PoD on that site: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure there is no category of employers which is jackass-free as a whole. Sadly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did you ask your boss if he was a jackass?

I suppose you could inquire about the percentage of jackasses during the interview.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hmmm. What about the Amish? Are there Amish jackasses?

Pfft. A nice rare steak, perhaps, with a dollop of pâté fois gras covered in bacon? I'm weak right now.

I’m getting weak. I went out to dinner last night, and there was a “bacon wrapped veal and mushroom meatloaf.” I almost didn’t’ bother to look at the rest of the menu.

In my experience with the Amish, I haven't noticed any Amish jackasses. OTOH, my experience amounts to watching the movie "Witness". I guess I could check their website.

I am afraid that direct inquiry will not provide the data I need. I need to devise better tactics.

Are there Amish jackasses?

Dude, totally. Didn't you see Witness?

There was some show on UPN a while back which lead me to believe that yes, there are.
