I'm back temporarily to post this poem  for the "When one line is never enough contest" sponsored by Bev Smith.

I gazed into her eyes until she could imagine the person she wanted me to be. If I do it wrong the first time it will free up a lot of time for me later. No I don't need hearing aids, I have perfected the art of selective hearing. Take your time, I'll be in the car testing the horn. How was I supposed to know you didn't want me to answer your question? Bev Smith's "When one line is never enough" contest.

Some really great ones here Richard. I especially like the take your time car horn opposite lol. I'm sure you've read Yogi Berra; Groucho Marx, and W.C. Fields. All greats of the mind messing one liners.

I was guilty of this one earlier in our relationship but have developed better ways of entertaining myself.
