You need a lesson in subtlety. Here, an example from my very email:

To be honest with you Mike, that's what I enjoy about bantering with
Ricardo. He can miss the whole point of a post but catch the strangest

get-drunk-and-die theme---which is actually a variation of the advice
he gave me in Spanish.
