Dear Universe,
Being Egyptian, I make it a point to be well read and knowledgeable on plagues. George Santayana and "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" and all that. I know about the waters turning to blood, I can discourse on the unhealable boils, I am familiar with the frogs. I consider myself to have taken all reasonable precautions where plagues are concerned.
Why, then, do I find myself afflicted of late with a plague of idiots and assholes? Have I not learned enough of the past? Is it simply my unavoidable destiny as an Egyptian? I am Jewish, too, you know! Personally, I would have preferred some treefrogs, myself -- they are so cute!
Anyway, I will hope that the recent deluge is deemed sufficient and that the current plague will abate shortly. If not, I may have to rescind my current attitude of polite tolerance and begin to respond by smiting. No one really likes unnecessary smiting, so perhaps a dry spell is in order where idiots and assholes are concerned?
Thank you for your time and for your kind consideration of this matter.
Best regards,
Nomad

As for your guess: It is not bad... but, no, airport security has not been any more annoying that usual for me of late. And I have flown four times so far this year. It is my understanding that the flights from Canada into the US have gotten to be quite irrational... but everything else seems mostly normal. At least in my experience!
I would be totally game for a plague of frogs! They can be sooooo adorable! I prefer bull frogs and tree frogs, myself! ;-D

In any case, I do hope, for your sake, the idiots and assholes go busy themselves bothering each other for a while, and leave you alone.
