  1. As a kid I was bothered by the moral of this story: As long as you provide value to the mob, your idiosyncrasies might be overlooked. Otherwise, piss off. And never mind apologizing - don't be so sensitive about how shitty we (including Santa) treated you. The fact that we NOW find you useful should be all you need.

  4. I thought about writing a book about racism, misogyny, and bullying in children's literature and cartoons once I retire.
