One might not have suspected that a woman was so
wholly ignorant of culinary facts but might suffer
the accusation of stereotyping, too, if so.

It's just bacon. If you like it, pork belly is better
than intriguing.

The hand-in-hand nature of humor and cruelty has always
distressed me, though I recognize the frequent truth of
your statement. Practical so-called jokes I pretty much
abhor and cannot find any justification for.

Frequent flyers tend to be blase', though, so initial
inspection led me to think he was not perhaps so expert a
flyer as he thought he was. A true novice, though, would
likely not have been able to wangle the exit row, and if
he did, not apt to jeopardize this position by mouthing
off at the flight attendant, whose instructions it is
said must be obeyed under all circumstances.

Too sad. Now who does the social work training in your city?
