Answer a Question with a Question...

[Kaila]

Could I just exchange some other item for it?

 

[Pebbles]

Yes of course, what would you like to exchange?

 

[Tish]

How many items can I exchange?

 

[Lavinia]

Have you already seen a clock you would like to buy?

 

[Kaila]

Instead of purchasing anything, How about we each put in any number of items, into a circle,
and then, we each take out, the same number of different items?

 

[Tish]

Good idea, can I go first?

 

[Kaila]

How many items did you bring?

 

[Patch]

No matter how many items @Kaila brought, wouldn't it be more ladylike to allow the gentleman on this thread to have priority???

 

[Kaila]

Shall we draw straws intead?

 

[Patch]

If I just let you ladies go on ahead and make your exchanges, could I at least have a hot cup of coffee while I wait?

 

[Kaila]

Is there a nearby coffee machine?

 

[Lavinia]

Has anyone donated one?

 

[Patch]

If we did find a donated one, could we trust it is not contaminated?

 

[Tish]

How will we know if it is contaminated?

 

[Patch]

If one of us tries the coffee from it first... and drops dead... then won't the rest of us know it's contaminated?

 

[mike4lorie]

was the coffee contaminated or the cream or milk, or sugar or the cup, maybe the spoon?

 

[Patch]

With so many potential points of contamination, should we just go to Starbucks?

 

[mike4lorie]

Are there not more germs in a Starbucks?

 

[Tish]

Are you for real?

 

[Patch]

If I am not real, does that mean every time I reply to a thread I am a "ghostwriter"??

 

[mike4lorie]

Are you telling me there are ghosts here in SF?

 

[Owlivia]

Whoooooo can be sure?

 

[Lavinia]

Are ghosts able to use computers?

 

[Kaila]

Would they type their posts with invisible ink?

 

[Lavinia]

Or do they use automatic writing?
