      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              You can be reasoned with in Pennsylvannia at least that depends on how close you are to the Amish and the Coal miners ;)

                Very close. The Amish are on the outskirts of my home town. They come in town to sale their wares during the summer. I was asked once if I wanted to help work on one of their farms, but never got the chance.

                        I usually just put down GLBTQPIKLFOMDIRHOSDOVHRN. That way I don't leave anything out.

                          Q is sometimes used to mean "questioning". Oh, and I know a lot of gay people who use the word "queer". It's one of those words that's only considered bad when it's used to demean, I suppose.

                            Back before a bunch of other letters started getting added on and it was simply GLB (Gay Lesbian Bisexual) a late friend of mine would use the term "gibly" in conversation (for Gay Bisexual Lesbian - GiBLy) because it could be pronounced. For whatever reason most of those in one of those groups who heard him say it took offense.

                            I'm always still in trouble again

                              I like it actually. Who could possibly be offended by it? It's sounds like the name of a Japanese anime studio. And everyone loves Japan.

                                It's a joke, of sorts... every time I see the "name", it seems there are more letters added to it.
