It's very rare that I'm 100% serious, and you know that already. I ALWAYS make jokes right in the middle of serious responses, except in this very post because I am prooving my own statement wrong with this one. My whole goal is to lighten the mood of so called "serious" debates. I suppose if you didn't actually get the joke, you would think my explaining that it was came totally out of the blue. On my end, it sounds incredibly egotistical for someone who I had to just explain I was joking to to suddenly assume then that rather then them not seeing the joke, I was lying. I think we understand each other better now though. Hopefully this non-issue can be resolved and we can get on with more important things, like Captain Falcon's weird button things on his vest!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
