Was it over the top when I put into the letter I wrote on your behalf, “disarms tactical nuclear devices in his spare time”?

Posted by: t at February 22, 2004 07:06 PMYes, some of them have spare time. The nuclear physicist I know best, however, spends his on martial arts and graphic novels. (^_^)
Posted by: Jane Ellen at February 22, 2004 11:13 PMThis assumes that the person ever has spare time. If I had spare time, I just might disarm those weapons or maybe make truffles. I dunno.
How about "If [said applicant] had spare time she would certainly spend it disarming..."
That might be fair.
