Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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?

Are there Amish jackasses?

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

Join a Zen commune?

Hah. I've lived on a commune. No boss (and I have a stone crazy one right now, so I know of what I speak) is as bad as thirty people having to decide everything by consensus.

You think Bureaucrazy gets bad? You have no idea.

There was an Amish jackass in Witness?

A Hot Amish Jackass, no less. Umm, Gudonov. (Not you, though I'm sure you're delicious in your own way.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where was the commune?

I lived in a housing coop with more than 30 people. Howerver, most didn't participate in meetings, so we only had to consense on about 9.
