With a name like that he must be a Humanist.

Omgosh. Lisbon1940, your post just jogged a memory loose about an event over 30 years old!
I had recently started dating my beloved... I’m not clear on exactly what caused the comment I said, though the comment was meant as a compliment...
“You must be a humanist.”
Now, I truly meant it as a compliment. I was uneducated as to what a Humanist really was; in my world it was someone who cared for people.
Merciful Maude, you’d have thought I called him a pile of doggy poop. He started lecturing (really!) on what a Humanist was, and would I please learn what things really mean before opening my mouth. He said people do not have a clue as to what anything meant any more....
LOL When I get stressed over the events of the day I often tell my beloved that sometimes, just sometimes mind you, I’d rather have no actual knowledge of the real world.
LOL And, yes, I am so glad he’s not a Humanist.
Now if I could only get him to mail a few of his New Yorker mannerisms back to New York.... which is not likely because he refuses to go back to New York for any reason...
As he’s a staunch Conservative and extremely Pro-2nd Amendment I really should be happy. LOL
