I asked for you to elaborate on your original, incomplete thought and you would not do so, instead you responded with a feeble attempt at facetiousness. I spend enough time trying to read my wife's mind due to the female propensity for expression through the use of incomplete thoughts. Now, you try and send me on a silly research project just to uncover the final sentence of your thought? No thanks. |
