Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape



Almost. I almost said it today.

Then I realized that it would be unbehooving.

I am no Charles Heston.

It depends who has their paws on you. If in fact it IS a damn dirty ape, then it would be entirely appropriate to say. You may not be Heston, but neither is that building inspector giving you grief an ape.

Havent you noticed that lately some inspectors and regulators are looking more apely?

And if you look at yourself in the mirror just right, you can see a bit of Heston's manly good looks, but still it is not the same. In real life we cannot act out our fantasies (it is the job of our movie heroes to do this for us), you have to say, humbly, yes Adon Inspector, I will fill out the papers in triplicate just as you ask.

Worse, K, I say "Yes, we will spend twenty thousand dollars to install an industrial wastewater evaporator although this is an accounting office and has no industrial process going in and generates no industrial wastewater. Thank you."
