I shrug. That little man – what does he think? Does he imagine that belittling others endears himself? That she’d appreciate the off-hand put-down? That I’d be flustered or flummoxed? I wonder, because I – I am aware only of his weakness. His impotence. His inability to start a conversation with nothing but a cheap shot.
