I am reminded of an old Peanuts comic strip that ends with a picture of
Lucy/Linus/CharlieBrown/Others on the pitcher's mound embroiled in a ball of
fighting (as only a cartoon can) with Snoopy off to the right, looking
skyward with a slight grin and thinking "I love a good rhubarb."

BTW, I am not Certified (but probably certifiable), and I would not be
offended in the least if CHPs worn lapel pins to that effect. I have been
known to wear a Sigma Pi Sigma lapel pin and don't think it cause for
resentment.
