I was listening to the Schnidt show, this afternoon. The guest host was discussing the planned reading of the Constitution and a caller claimed it was just a gimmick. The host axed him if he had ever read the constitution. His reply was "of course not."

Not "never got 'round to it."
Not "sorry, I haven't."
Not even, "nah, didn't feel like it."

No, it was "of course not." As it reading the constitution was some sort of strange, extremist activity that well-adjusted people ought not engage in.

Boy, I longed for the days where the Left just wanted to "evolve" the Constitution, rather than pretend it doesn't exist.

(sorry to nitpick, but it's "asked" ^_^)

If we actually spell it "axed," there's a good chance we're just being tongue-in-cheek.

AHa ok :)

The interweb terms can be so confusing, like "wank." Took me a while to figure the correct term for it. (Strangely enough, people actually liked my version of it. Heh.)

My husband and I actually make fun of this lawyer's commercial down in Jacksonville (FL) when we visit. He has one of those 24-hour advice hotlines and the number is 1-800-ASK-DAVE (uh, only call if you need legal advice? /disclaimer). Of course, when the "accident victims" in his commercial recite the number, it always comes out as "won-aight-hundred-ax-Dave." So, I guess it could be a legal advice or a murder-for-hire hotline, depending on if you paid attention or not.

Anyway, that's what I thought of with your little humor up there. ;)

"What are you doing with that flashlight under your sheets, son?"
"I'm reading the Constitution, dad."
"What, the Constitution? Where did you get that trash? Give it here. Who gave it to you? When I find out I'm gonna wring his neck!"
"I promise I won't do it again! Please, dad!"
"And next time I come up here at oh-dark-thirty and catch you with a flashlight under your sheets, it had better be Playboy!"

No

The only possible good "no" is "No, I haven't read it since high school"

And only if you're less than four years out of High School.
