Finally, someone from Hollywood championing something worthwhile.  Mel Brooks is trying to save the word “schmuck.”  Apparently, statistics show that the word “schmuck” was only used 11 times in 2006 by people other than Mel Brooks.  As it turns out, I know about the other 11!  I slowly worked through my interactions with co-workers during 2006 and have verified that those 11 other instances were used to describe me.

If “schmuck” disappears from the American lexicon, my co-workers are not going to know what to call me or how to describe me…

Thanks to the Onion (not a PG post) and the Double-Tongued Dictionary for publishing this important work.
