It's the "Stand up, Chuck!" joke from when Joe Biden was addressing the man in a wheelchair. Your last paragraph urged me to stand up (four times). So I said I couldn't. And I signed it "Chuck". See? It's funny.
Except when you have to explain it to the new guy.
Instead of bashing me, why not put that anger to some real use and e-mail your representative so much that it clogs his e-mail. If you want to slap me around you are slapping the wrong person.
