    in case ...

    :razz:
    "sorta" as in she's WEIRD !!! Even though her last name is Guiness (note only one N ) we're way too different and I have no idea what she could possibly see in me. I'm a construction worker and she's a hotel concierge - no class vs. high society. I'll play along til she figures it out ....

    ps: thanks for the link, that's kind of fun.

    CT - can you beer me now? good.

    Careful with that stuff... Ten years ago, I was a truck driver, that barely attained a HS diploma and dropped out of college, "kinda sorta" dating a girl working toward her masters in literature at the university... We're married now, and I'm back in college!

    I've worked in the construction industry all of my working life, I always thought we were a bunch of classy down to earth guys!

    Yeah you really have to be careful about such generalisations.

    I did Yale undergrad, Harvard Grad & research fellowships at Princeton but my spouse failed out of the local community college.

    And at alumni events, Nopadon is usually the person everyone wants to talk to because he's an amazingly great conversationalist. Even though he has little formal education he definitely has class.

    ok ok


    Thank you all for your fine comments - I kilt myself corrected.
    I do a fine job at work - being productive, defying gravity, and cheating death all the while reading song lyrics or looking out over the far horizon toward the coast (I can see Catalina Island when the weather is clear, San Clemente Island when it's really really clear ! ). I've run heavy equipment for over 20 years and still I stand. Unfortunately I cannot kilt at work (sunburned legs hurt, even more hydraulic oil burns even hotter - this I know too well) but I find the company in this group to be some of the finest anywhere.
    It is my pleasure and honur to be among ya.

    CT - she's still weird though .... (right letters, now right order too)

    I wasn't aware that concierges were required to be on the Social Register...?

    There's nothing low-class about construction as long as we're talking about craftsmen. It wasn't easy to become a Mason, back when you had to actually be a mason. Teaching an illegal alien to sling paint doesn't count (just to illustrate the other end of the scale).

    But anyway... classy women know which men are worth having - which are dudes with muscles and skills. And kilts.
