Gotta say that you missed a great opportunity when you didn’t title this piece “The Joy of Sects.”

Steve, our mother could hold her own with sailor cussing in good old American English as well. I was equipped with a fine vocabulary even before attending day one of public school.

I was tickled when I learned that Yosemite Sam's name is Samuel Rosenbaum.

According to Gemini, he's known as "Aloysius Bartholamew Sam" and sometimes "Samuel Michelangelo Rosenbaum". Perhaps one is an alias, as you know outlaws use several aliases ;-)

Oh Steve I can’t love this one enough! I will add that here in Miami our unofficial motto is ME FIRST! Somehow I suspect this too is universal. I will be typing KMIT frequently in the near future. And I will chuckle since few will get the message. Thanks.

I just realized I could never get a vanity plate with the initials for Me First. 🤣
