A Note on Language



...and that annoying fisherman will move along to another stream. It's=20
really lonely hurling epitaphs at one's own self...

Busy practicing my harmonica, not having a battle of wits with an un-armed=20
person...

Dear Mr. "Maniac"(tm):
    =20
      The word you were searching for is "epigrams."  Much like music, the=20
art of insult demands that "one" hit the exact notes.  Otherwise, the song=20
becomes humorous in an unintended way.  "Epitaphs" are gravestone inscriptio=
ns;=20
"epigrams" are wise sayings.  But don't let the loneliness discourage you. =20=
Keep=20
practicing, and you may become, in time, a decent player. And isn't that wha=
t=20
it's all about?

Your Fellow Fisherman,
Johnny T (Pat. Pending)
