"He isn't."
"Well, he will be soon, he's very ill."
"I'm getting better!"

"I can't take him..."
"I feel fine!"
"Oh, do us a favor..."
"I can't."
"Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long."
"Naaah, I got to go on to SCO's -- they've lost nine today."
"Well, when is your next round?"
"Thursday."
"I think I'll go for a walk."
"You're not fooling anyone y'know. Look, isn't there something you can do?"
"I feel happy... I feel happy.
[whap]"
"Ah, thanks very much."
"Not at all. See you on Thursday."
"Right."

One of our competitors trademarked the term "hypothesis". From now on, we will call them "boneheaded ideas".
Aren't I allowed to hate *both* MS and Sony? I agree. It's like picking the shiniest of two enormous turds.
