    Reminds me of the old joke: two ladies meet in a shopping mall and recognize each other as having graduated from high school with them, twenty years ago. The first lady tells the other about marrying her husband, a financial analyst with his own company, wealthy and well-respected, of her house in Scarsdale, and the parties they hold in it. She goes on about how perfect her children were, her son having graduated from Harvard, and her daughter attending Yale. At each description of how well her life has been going, the other woman murmurs, "Marvelous". "Fantastic!" That's marvelous." That's fantastic!"

    Eventually she winds down, and asks the other lady what she has been doing. She smiles and looks at her. "I've been going to charm school", she said. "Charm school?", the other lady exclaimed, not quite understanding.

    "Yes" she replied. "They've been teaching me to use words like "marvelous" and "fantastic" instead of "bullshit!"
