French Fry Day and National Nude Day certainly don't go together (Ouch!) but sanctimonious certainly is a grand word. I hereby sanctimoniously say it could be the grandest of words!

No, they watch other people celebrate it and pretend to be outraged instead of titillated. :roll:

French Fry day + Nude Day is a bad combo - like ironing naked, bad burns can result! :blink:

Do you know it's impossible to say the word "sanctimonious" with a smile? Say it. It comes out of your mouth like a snarl. Such a wonderful descriptive word (in a perverse kind of way :lol:).

Also: It's kind of hard to call somebody sanctimonious without sounding sanctimonious.
