vengeance is mine

I've done it. After nearly 2 months of careful consideration, I have written to the man in Ulster who insulted my wife. Just to refresh the memory, we turned up at the house next door to our B and B by mistake. Upon asking the occupant if we had arrived at "Shola Cottage" (for that was its name)my wife was fixed with a look of utter contempt and asked:
"Does this look like a cottage to you?" And with that the turned his back on us and walked back into his house.
True, it was quite a large house, though the "cottage" itself turned out to be a large, 8 room house on 2 floors. Later on I discovered that Mr Rude was in fact a GP.
So today, I wrote him a letter, one doctor to another. I took him to task for his arrogance and reminded him that doctors have a duty to treat members of the public with respect. Finally, I offered him some advice (and here I quote):
"1. Put less food in your mouth [he was enormously fat]
2. Moderate the less pleasant aspects of your personality when dealing with the public"

Revenge, I say, is best served after long and careful thought...
