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.
