I got banned for a couple of days. It scarred me.

You got banned lately? Whatever for, you're as sweet as tupelo honey.

If it makes you feel better, I got banned a gallionty times for my saucy mouth and lived to tell the tale.

p.s. Fear nothing. They can kill you, but they can't eat you. My dear old da used to tell me.

p.p.s. I always thought to myself on those occasions, "But dad, they CAN eat you."

I was missing the point.

In the old days, one wasn’t considered much of a contender for respect unless one had been banned at least once.
