There's an old-fashioned usage you still occasionally hear in New England where calling someone (including oneself) ugly has nothing to do with appearance, but with unpleasant mood and attitude towards others. I think it is expressed quite well by the old phrase "The Ugly American."
Truth can be funny. Its funny to me because once you fire Dave, the work doesn't get done, the rest serve no purpose and the company folds. Its coming !It would be funnier if not a lot more truth than you might think.
