Hi Don, May I point out that PUN, not SARCASM, is the lowest form of wit. Pun or *paranomasia* is the humorous use of two words having the same or similar sounds but different meanings, or of two different, more or less incongruous meanings of the same word. Example: Someone recently asked me, "How is life, RN?" and I punned, "Well, my dear friend, it depends on the liver." Sarcasm refers to an ironical or scornful utterance, contemptuous and taunting language, or the use of biting gibes and cutting rebukes. I suppose Feline just can't help being "catty"! From what I have seen elsewhere, Feline has tried punning using the word "pussy". But I tend to think Feline is just playing the part of a smart ass. I also believe she is permanently hooked to a computer. And that makes Feline a F--------Know-It-All!!!
