2. I was "gruntled" earlier today.
Luckily, I was able to take a Bush and wipe my Cheney.

I feel better now.

4. Everybody I know is pretty much agruntled.
Not gruntled, not disgruntled... nary a gruntle.

6. Still doesn't sound very positive...
"How are you today?"

7. I think postal workers are usually gruntled most of the time.
Then when they go over the edge they are called disgruntled postal workers.
