when insults were a sport

  Those of you who know Mother Goat and I , know we enjoy a good insult . I am a fan of Groucho Marx he could deliver an insult and you'd want to thank him for it. These days we seem to have lost that ability. As Americans we have the admiration of most of the world. We should each d our part to at least be #1 in .delivering a good insult. If you can't say something nice about somebody at least insult him or her with class.
