laz'unfaire-
don't go OOFie on us. relax.
life is too short for us to
have to watch you get OC and
start researching and posting
links to chit we've already read.
fyi- i read what you said about us
being old buds and i concur.
(the DEVIL made me say that. <g>)
<chews on his columbo stogie, scratches
his 4head with a hand from over the top of
his head and turns to ask one more question>
ooh, oooh, just one more question...
when you wrote, "They may just decide to take a
flyer on their own and get you into real trouble.
Say, saying "Mr. President, if you really are
considering invading Kuwait, by God, we'll bring
down the wrath of God on your palaces, and on your
country, and you'll all be destroyed."
can get a war started rather quickly. Now in this
case the standard foreign policy had the same effect,
but in general it will not and is specifically
designed not to create dangerous situations you can't
back out of.
didn't you see the irony and humor in the two bolded
portions?
i did.
it's easy to imagine what a diplomat should say in that
situation and there's NO WAY i could ever imagine a real
ambassador saying the sentence that you made up. i could
see this maybe, "You know, Honorable President Hussein,
the international community may not choose to look the
other way if you decide to move in on Kuwait."
but i appreciate your intelligent humor and irony and
that's why i threw you the straight line question...
"who told you to say that?"
...and as to poet's warning about my intellect...
disregard it. her middle-aged hormones are raging
and she's probably just making a cyber-play for my
affections. <g>
you're right, i'm as dumb as a big stick. walk softly,
and carry me... please.
<he's really pushing his trust in readers to understand
his twisted sense of humor>
(i'm just kidding, poet - thank yew fer yer support) :-)
ahh... but i digress... you and i are taking up way too much
space on this thread with humor and sparring when we could
be reading the articles and comments that stockman scott
and lurqer are sharing here every day. they're much more
useful than what we're doing here.
i love those dudes!
