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.

That's a lovely quote.

I can't say I want to live up to it though. :-)

Ah. Then Perhaps your lines are these, which Orlando was answering, above:

You have a nimble wit: I think 'twas made of
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...
