I believe he may have mentioned it; 1) because he was trying to use entertaining terms and; 2) that image belies the stereo-type of Registry employees being the overweight, ugly brain-dead, with pickaxe scars across their foreheads, dressed in matching ensembles they stole from discount racks at K-Mart fire damage sales. Now I'm sure he'll rue the day he posted and drew two tickets from the Massachusetts State Language Police. Probably stay up all night thinking about it with intense regret.
