If I got fired every time I said something stupid—well, you can fill in the blank. Fire me via e-mail: slate.pressbox@gmail.com. Rehire me by subscribing to my Twitter feed. (E-mail may be quoted by name in "The Fray," Slate's readers' forum; in a future article; or elsewhere unless the writer stipulates otherwise.
