My thick skin is due to Minnesota winters and yours I'm guessing is from the consumption of Fireball.  In any case, we are supposed to play nice with everyone --------------- even if they lack a sense of humor.  Look at the bright side, at least you aren't going to have to pay the thousands of dollars it is going to cost for the undertaker to put a smile on some of those folks' faces when their time comes.  In any case, we live to fight another day so keep on smiling and keep on drinking Fireball.  I just converted my IRA to nothing but Fireball stock after talking to you.
