I'm an idiot. Please give me the remaining 15%.

BTW, Marilyn did indeed have sex with all the people I mentioned in my response.

When I was in college, a music professor of mine who had studied at Princeton told us this story: his favorite professor lived up the street from Einstein. He would hear Einstein playing his violin and got up the courage to knock on his door one day. To his shock, Einstein himself answered. Somewhat flustered, the music professor introduced himself as a neighbor who also taught at Princeton, told Einstein how humbled and honored he was to meet him, told him they had musical soirees at his house once a month, and asked if he and Mrs. Einstein would like to be his guests and possibly even join him for a piano and violin duet?

Einstein eyed him up and down and said, "No." And closed the door.

What a rude and arrogant guy. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Umm, the whole thread was a joke. The comment that I would stop at nothing was a precursor to the joke. I thought that this was obvious even to those who decided to discuss the attracting woman points seriously. Now I'm not so sure.

You'd be arrogant too if you sexed-up Marilyn Monroe. The rudeness might be uncalled for.

First rule of jokes on internet forums. 83% of the responses will come from people who did not get it. The remaining 17% come from smart-Allics who think they can do better.

I thought that this was obvious.

[/ QUOTE ]

Anyone who has gone to a university maths lecture will know that obvious is an entirely relative concept.

I quote myself..

"I believe what Sklansky is doing is making a post so filled with ridiculously assasine comments that people will flame him. He wants to make another 10,000 view post...

Btw, way to play into his hand by mocking him. "

True. However, might intelligence be a good indicator of a persons future wealth/power? If you meet 2 middle-class 14 year olds, one is smarter, one not very smart, who would you guess will grow up to have more wealth/power. Obviously there are other factors, but I do think there would be a correlation, no?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure. But woman who seek those with power and wealth don't really care how it was obtained. It's the final result that matters, imo.

[George Rice]

See what you started?

[MMMMMM]

This is really sad. Nothing so completely destroys a mediocre attempt at humor as explanantion.

"More than 10,000 people have now read it."

No they haven't. Do you see why not?

[/ QUOTE ]

"Why isn't this obvious?" is along similar lines but with a bit more arrogance or condescension. It could also under certain circumstances be another remark from David, such as that which you are aping. It could also be added to your quote, thusly:

"No they haven't. Do you see why not? Why isn't this obvious?"

So in asking the question, I was in a sense playing along with what you were doing.

Got it, thanks. Sorry for my density.
