    Now there’s some useful advice. Probably best to just be vague as it seems even when you’re trying to be kind there are many people who just seem to be waiting to take offense these days. 😀

    Perfection. I shall repeat this one at the next extended family gathering! It’s time they learn the secret to getting along, politically speaking. 😉

    When I read the title immediately came to my mind that “polite” line from the movie “A fish called Wanda” that goes something like that:
    “I’m sorry old chap but I’m afraid I have to kill you”
    😛

    If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS.
