Respek

Respect is kind of an abstract concept if you ask me. It can be described in a lot of different ways, but it is best demonstrated, so instead of trying to come up with some cliché definition, I’ll just list a few ways you can show it. They are as follows: keeping your distance from an angry bear, not murdering your second cousin, avoiding the state of Oklahoma in general, not murdering your second cousin’s nosy friend, cooperating with law enforcement, not cooperating with law enforcement, not making fun of the Buffalo Bill’s decision to claim Shawne Merriman off waivers, not throwing things at Tila Tequila during an ICP concert, not beating up Tila Tequila because you’re Shawne Merriman, Returning a missing dog, returning a missing hat, returning a missing copy of “Pulp Fiction,” Freeing hat McCoy, not stealing your neighbor’s wireless internet, not stealing cable, not kicking your dog due to the fact that “He just looked kickable,” not kicking your spouse for the same or a similar reason, asking consent prior to tickling somebody, not littering, turning off your high beams on a busy stretch of road, knocking before entering, not insisting on talking out of turn, not fighting with strangers, not fighting with the pope, not fighting at a funeral, not talking in the middle of an episode of “South Park,” not claiming Randy Moss off waivers, claiming Shawne Merriman off waivers, not entering a supermarket claiming that you are a mustard inspector and proceeding to dump copious amounts of mustard all over your face and body, and of course opening doors.
