True, you are much more perceptive than I usually give a committe
credit for, Mr. "dave, paul, carol".  Or is that not a committe, but a
recognition of a split persoanlity, and you are not sure who you are
today?

Why no, I have not.  Do you live there so you can assert this?  Or has
someone told you?  If so, who and what evidence did they give?  Or do
"dave, paul, carol" believe whatever they hear?

I am afraid that I will have to accuse you of massive ignorance,
compounded by sheer stupidity.  I was pleasantly engaged in watching a
young lady on the beach outside the Grand Casino just last week end.
She was in the sun for easily an hour, and I observed no crispiness
around the edges.  An I looked quite carefully.  COme to think of it,
so was I, and I am not burned!  Amazing how easily you are refuted
"dave, paul, carol".

And now you will no doubt inform us that a little birdie told you, and
told you the cause, right.  Did it have on a black suit and a white
vest with a gold watch?  Do you have some credible evidence that this
is the case?

Right, and I have some land I would like to sell you up north of
Purdue Bay, I am sure you can grow some carrots and beans on it real
soon, and I can give it to you cheap.  Just send me ten dollars and I
will send you a deed, just as soon as I get around to it!
