My ex-brother-in-law (aka The Jerk among my brothers and I) used to quote that incessantly in my sister's presence. Looking back, I should have punched him in the nose.

Post by: Sarah on February 19, 2010, 12:27:49 PM: I have an ex-brother-in-law whom my family all called The Jerk as well. Probably fairly common, I suppose.

P.S. I just noticed the typo in my post. Though I've now corrected it, the quotation in yours will forever stand testimony to my shame.
