In the short stories, RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY, horace rumpole, renegade barrister, always toasts the Timson clan, to whom he is regular counsel, afamily of thieves who provides rumpole with his daily claret and cleaning supplies for his humble flat.
His uptiggt chamber mates always find his toasts morally repulsive.
When someone seems dumb, it really is not a cause to be upset. It is a cause for celebration of the diversity of the human family.
Also to be clear, I’m not saying I’m a genius or havent done a lot of dumb dhit. Just that I think I’m smarter than average, have better than average self control, and generally avoid fucking up my life in very avoidable ways.
I have plenty of shortcomings.
If you’ve never read a rumpole short story, by john Mortimer, give it a shot. So funny!
