spake one of the Listees (referring to them fried claims again) ...

> A disgruntled postal worker...  :)

now, this makes me wonder ...
if a postal worker is DISgruntled, does that mean the rest of us are
walking around GRUNTLED all the time? if you meet someone and they
smile and say "hello", is that being GRUNTLED?
and if you check ol' Noahcount Webster, sure enough, that's basically
what the word means: "to put back into a good humor", as "gruntled
with a good meal and good conversation".

so there. you've been forced to learn something new after all. :) so
the next time someone is rude or short with you, just tell 'em:

Ah, go gruntle yourself.
