Mad Penguin review

[Paul Harper]

I second that. Corporate and government types have not
sense of humour.

Mind you the reviewer comes across as an illiterate. A
quick check of the dictionary would show:

"dap·per   

Neatly dressed; trim. 
Very stylish in dress. 
Lively and alert." 

Where is the gay bit?

TTFN,

Paul

The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
-Confucius
