Offense.

So this morning, I have the Today Show on, as usual, as background (and also to make sure I never leave on the dot of 9:10 A.M. Damn you, Joy's Fit Club!). One feel-good story was about this high-school basketball player, Porter Ellett, who only plays with one arm, as his other had been amputated the year before. He was described, by the narrator, as having a "disarming" sense of humor.

I had to think about that one for a moment. It sounded exactly like something Mama would say when she was being wickedly funny--not the warm-voiced "Today Show" segment narrator.
