      Tester - Can I drive the car with my eyes closed? Salesman - No you can't drive the car with your eyes closed. Tester - If I repeatedly kick the indicator stalk, will it break? Salesman - Probably. Tester - Hurrumph. Tester - If I deliberately crash the car at high speed off a cliff am I likely to be injured? Salesman - The car is not intended for that purpose. Tester - Hurrumph. Tester - Does the car come with a manual? Salesman - Yes! Tester - Can the manual be used to light fires? Salesman - Yes, but that is not its intended purpose. Tester - Erm, if I get in the car and dont follow signs, disregard my driver training, deliberately misuse the controls will I get home safely? Salesman - Probably not. Tester - Bah, what kind of car is this? Tester - Are its headlights sledgehammer proof? Salesman - No. Tester - Can it read my mind? Salesman - No. Tester - If I dive out of the door at 60 mph will I be safe, and the car find its own way home? Salesman - No. Tester - If I disregard every rule of logic and deliberately try and injure people by driving recklessly on the pavements will the car keep me and the pedestrians safe? Salesman - No.

                        I told you not to use the air gun for applying cream. I know it's macho and all, but the swelling is just not worth it.

                            I told you not to use the air gun for applying cream. I know it's macho and all, but the swelling is just not worth it.

                              No, it wasn't rude. You posted crap in the lounge, and Pete posted an honest (and accurate) assessment of the message. If you want rude, I am prepared to provide an example. BTW, "new member" status does not automatically mean you're allowed to post crap and go unnoticed as a result.

                                        Ooh. I am cut to the quick by such a shining wit. You are obviously an intellectual giant among pygmies, judging by the subtlety of your post. I stand in awe of your Oscar Wilde style wit.

                                          Too bad the site doesn't allow us to post replies in Silverlight. If it did, we could have an animation of a new member putting his head up his own ass.
