Nah, I suspect you and I would get along quite well. And thankfully, I'm not charming.  |

So cute is "short fat and bow legged", or a puppy.
I am an almost 60 year old broken, and beaten graduate of the school of hard knocks. I haven't seen it all, but not much surprises me. So am I cute, not since I was 5 years old and in britches. I am scared and hardened. I use humour and charm to get through it all. I studied philosophy to exercise my mind, I know what fork, spoon and knife to use. I have rubbed elbows with the very rich and very powerful and the downtrodden, I like them better. I'll quote a guy who I worked with a long time ago, he had a Masters in Chinese and Russian literature and worked as a copper. We had been working a very long night and had dealt with a number of folks who had ended up in the pipes.....I'll never forget Billy saying to me in the wee hours that "the pen is mightier than the sword, but if you really want to fuck someone use a typewriter".
Coppers had lots of great things to say, that I often quote. Mostly crude, and almost alway right on point and true as fuck.
