re: Tom or Jerry - who was the bigger jerk?

I fricking hated Jerry. Tom was just doing his job as a cat. His job as a cat is to keep the house free of vermin (i.e. Jerry). I guess you could argue that Tom wasn't very good at his job because he never killed Jerry, but he had the deck stacked against him. Even if Tom actually ate Jerry, that son of a bitch would find a way out of it. Lighting matches and shite in Tom's stomach.
