Yeah it's weird but it hurts whom? It's the guy's job
Is it an unusual job? Yep. But geez folks, lighten up
It's a July 4th thing

12. Well when ya put it like that.......

I feel terrible I didn't see the hot dog eating contest. Tour de France has been pretty exciting......and the Americans are doing pretty well at Wimbledon.

13. OK I guess, so long as I don't have to watch it.

14. It's a fun event hurting no one

DU often proves that curmudgeons are found on all sides of the political spectrum!

I hope everyone has a happy Independence Day.

And now it's my turn to be a curmudgeon...I hate it when people wish me a happy July 4!

Unless they have wished me a happy July 3 and will wish me a happy July 5 tomorrow.

15. It's harmless fun.

Some people take things a little too serious.

[Mosby]

17. No, it isn't "harmless fun"
