Ferris Bueller

Because someone dropped a Ben Stein video on my desk, and because of a recent frustrating discussion the details of which I shall spare us all, (imagine my teeth clenched as I type) I am reminded of a noteworthy line from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's in the scene where Bueller pretends to be the Sausage King of Chicago, at Chez Quis. After receiving a half-hearted apology from a snooty (snotty) host, who thanks Bueller for his "understanding." Bueller replies:

"It's understanding that makes it possible for person like me to tolerate a person such as yourself."


I'm just guessing here...but I'm pretty sure Jesus himself might feel this way. About some of his more obstinate children. From time to time.

God, time and patience are the three great physicians. (I mongrelized the quote by Bohen but use it for my own edification....)

Was the video 'Expelled'?
