Kiss Ass

Recently I was accused of being a "kiss ass." I have been called this before, but I am not one for smart comebacks, so it has taken me several hours to collect my thoughts on why I am okay with the title "kiss ass."

I think there are kiss asses who are kissing ass only in the eyes of others. In other words, when the ass kissing is genuine, it's not really ass kissing, it's called being nice. But when it is disingenuous, the ass kissing becomes obvious, and is far more worthy of the title. I also think that those who are often not nice are the first to label someone else an ass kisser, perhaps out of jealousy.

Most of all, however, I think there are people who have the ass kisser in them, and those who don't. And I, would rather be the former than the latter, because I have never been very good at ass kicking.

And those who don't like it, can kiss my ass.

This reminds me of an old Monty Python bit

"I'm sick and tired of people telling me they are sick and tired. And if you tell me I am sick and tired, well I am sick and tired of that too!"

You are definitely not an ass kisser in the negative or disingenous sense. We all have seen people like that before. Being nice is being nice. That's the only way to be. Manners! A Positive Attitude! You are a hero, Ben!
