+5 for wit ! If a lady I was enamored of told me she was a singleton, I think I'd ask: "can I be your one-and-only, then ?" But, maybe, first, I'd ask: "are you really a singleton, or are you just really: being static ?" Now, if she'd said she was, indeed, "static," I might inquire if she had a constructor, and if she said "yes," then I'd ask "what parameters do you require ?" If she said she had a constructor, but required no parameters, I'd politely say: "Sorry, but I cannot compile against thy framework." And I might have asked: "Is that skirt you're wearing a struct?" : if she'd said, "yes:" then I would know that just by referencing the skirt: everything in it that's public is both initialized and exposed.
