Thank you (although I hate to use such an Anglo-centric expression for acknowledgement and expression of gratitude; if only I had not left my copy of Susan's Publishing House's (a woman/minority-owned small business) "Definitive Guide to Multi-Cultural Vernacular" at my all-organic food co-op this morning.) (You see, I was shopping for organic cat chow to feed to the homeless cats that live on my commune, and the check-out-person -- whose cultural heretige and gender will remain anonymous so as not to play into any stereotypical negative images which might harm persons self images -- who happens to be vertically challenged, needed a boost, so I let it (again, you won't catch me not using gender-nuetral language!) stand on the book.)
-Remain vertical on your two-wheeled conveyance (unless you find that offensive; then please feel free to lay it down)
