I inherited the sharp tongue from my father...he had that ability to cut right thru to the irony of almost any situation, did not suffer fools gladly, & apparently no qualms about turning his wit loose on any poor soul within earshot (including his younger son). Was he always charming about it? Not really...we all learned to read him fairly well, & always had to explain to newcomers to the family that he wouldn't pick on them if he didn't like them.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.
