By the way, John, does this qualify as mordant wit in your book? I must thank you for giving me an excellent model for this type of discourse and for even telling me what it is called. I had not heard of that use of the word "mordant" (meaning caustic, biting) and knew only its meaning related to dyes. I think the connection between the two meanings has to do with the "caustic" sense, since mordant dyes seem to involve lye or probably originally did.
