When the beginning of a sentence warns that someone is about to show a "folksy side," it signals that Mr. Delete Key is on the verge of getting a workout.<p>A former colleague sent me this puzzling quote by e-mail and asked what it meant. I told her of an R-rated version Sgt. Barry used to yell at us in basic training. It sort of puzzled me then as it does now, but I did make a feeble attempt to explain it from my perspective.
