Oops! :)  Every time I open my mouth, I make some simple error that exposes
what a fake and charlatan I am. And I've suddenly realized that a ribbon
mike can't really "see". Who woulda thunk?  Perhaps this is the reason I'm
going on 60, and have yet to find a career or even a job. Even MickeyD's
won't hire me (I ask them at least once a week).

Man, I'm a fucking loser, that's for damn sure.
