Just pull their chains that is what I do....rattles them everytime! 😉 Also great entertainment at this time!

Or perhaps you simply lack the ability to recognize the nuances of a given thread and understand what is being asked of you?

Being able to follow a thread is decidedly more entertaining than pulling people's chains.

Try it sometime.

Question: Did Bill advocate the Oxford comma?

You and he were on a first name basis I see, you called him Bill not William! 😉

It is said that I am the queen of obscurity, which often leads to my being misunderstood by everyone and attempts (especially by literalists) of schooling me whilst I smirk gleefully inside.

If you are referring to The Queen of Obscurity, the converted barge I have moored on the Watford to Rickmansworth canal, there is a book in the galley drawer called The Schooling of Literalists by Vladimir Smirk. You're welcome to borrow it. Is that what you meant?

NO, I think it went right over your head!

Perhaps it was a plausible misunderstanding?

(Quick Sherlock, check the title of the thread).

Good Lord. You really should invest in a discreet vacuum exhaust footpedal which sucks the stools away Boeing 737 style. Chains are so yesterday.

No sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, but I do bite my thumb.”

*Today, I shall plagarise Bill by replying only with his words.

Ah, now I see what you did there! Unfortunately, even though it distracted me momentarily, and just so there's no misunderstanding going forward, I know for a fact you whipped off my underpants, pulling them through a hole in my pocket, as I looked away. Impressive sleight of hand, undoubtedly. But hardly a plausible way for us to go on.

That's absurd! How could I possibly whip your underpants? Are they made out of cream sir?!

I think not...

Presumably, to "plagiarize" here is a euphemism for some kind of massage service where you do not initiate the conversation with "Bill" which I take it is a generic term for a customer.

Surely not Brian Alas, I went to school with him, more and more spooky coincidences!

If you are referring to Unwin der Pantz, the half Dutch Tory Whip 1947-1958, I think you will find it was, in fact, custard and not cream on his rhubarb crumble, weekdays.

You're perhaps thinking of Brain Aloo, a starter served at the Indian restaurant run by the castrated spouses of groundbreaking female experts at Delhi Rocket Science Institute.
