Yes, good point. Of course I didn't ask Barry if he agreed. He just butted in. :) But how would that conversation "go down"? Anony: "Barry, If I asked you whether you agreed, what would you say? Barry: "I would say I agreed. Are you asking?" Anony: "No, if I was asking, I would ask. I was just wondering IF I had asked you, what you would have said." Barry: "Thats bizzarre" Anony: "Yeah, go figure." Barry: "Seen Godot yet?" Anony: "Nope. You?" Barry: "Nope. But I would have. If he had appeared. If the universe had wanted it to happen." Anony: "The universe would have liked that." Barry: "How would you know? Are you the Universe's little confidant? Jeez. Such a little Universe-Pleaser. The Universe always liked you best." ------------------------ Yahoo!
