Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
Bob had remarked in a post god knows where on his website that he likes to use the word “retard.”
Well, you know, I like to use the word “retard” too. I have a stock joke that is one of my favorites every time I see Sean Astin in a movie:
“Isn’t that the little retarded boy who wanted to play Notre Dame football?”
I think that’s funny. Maybe it’s just me.
Anyway, I got roped into watching the first Lord of the Rings movie last night by K, and when I saw Sean Astin, I used my line.
“That’s not funny,” she said. “I have an aunt who has Down’s and people call her retarded.”
“But people with Down’s aren’t retarded.” I said.
“I don’t like that term, that’s all.”
Sigh… I found someone who I can’t use the word “retarded” in front of. She’s lucky I like her anyway.
Bob has dumped girls for less.
