I nominate rainee for the soggiest sandwich award. :chew:
I would not be a sandwich - soggy or otherwise, Town.

I'm a meat eater, you must've been playing with much younger people.


And you should apologize to me tiger for saying those uncalled for ugly things to me - you are so sensitive and every time you get one teasing insult you go into overkill and overreaction.

And there's the great, great tragedy of it. :plain:

Poor kid. You've never even heard of a deli, have you... :nono:

I never realized you had a tiger...or that you were British (though it does explain your problem with sandwiches). And possibly chewing.

Who gets to decide all that?

How many guesses do I get? :rolleyes: :p :D

It's kind of like trying to read hieroglyphs, isn't it? I'm never sure exactly what she says.
But she seems really sweet.

no I don't
and
I don't even pretend to
Here's a help then.

I wrote: It's remarkable what can be communicated utilizing the rules of grammar and equally remarkable what is often communicated without.

The first portion is a literal point and sets up the joke in the second part:

"...and equally remarkable what is often communicated without," doubles down a bit. First it infers that we communicate a great deal sub rosa or between the lines of what we say. Secondly, it infers (by virtue of it being a commentary on your writing style) that you may be communicating that which you'd rather not.

So depending on your reading level and sense of humor, there are a few things going on.

Inferring that others might or must be pretending because you don't get or choose to pretend not to understand the subtleties is either disingenuous (the more likely) or silly.

I say it's more likely disingenuous because your use of the inferential would rather suggest your problem isn't that you don't understand, but that understanding you mean to twist it to another purpose, one insulting to everyone not of a likened mind.
