Yesterday, while we were doing the loop-di-loop game of realizing we've been going in the wrong direction, and trying to figure out how to get right again (With a driver who's used to driving on the opposite side of the street), Leadfingers thanked me for not getting upset that he was getting us lost. To which I answered: "Well, I can't really get upset, since I'm the one who's supposed to be giving you the directions!" And I tried to remember and quote the following, but didn't quite get it:
I will chide no breather in the world but myself,
against whom I know most faults. (Act 3, scene 2, As You Like it).
I can't honestly say I live up to that, but it's a nice, pro-fun ideal to strive for...
I particularly like the phrase "breather in the world," because it includes everybody, not just humans.

Atalanta's heels. Will you sit down with me? and
we two will rail against our mistress the world and
all our misery.
Yup. I think Malvolio would have been quite at home on the Internets...
