Touchy?
Touché.

Edit: and I'm discussing them with you. And, I admit, making assumptions about your assumptions. Irony rocks.

Cunning use of one word to make me snort.

What's an irony rock then?
All I remember of doing rocks and things like that in geography was that my teacher changed her name halfway through the year and with it, her hairstyle.

Oh, that and igneous rocks. But I couldn't tell you what igneous means, or any igneous rock names. Just that there are some and they are igneous.

Haematite,
magnetite and limonite, and a couple more, I think.

Ooh, that reminds me - I know a joke!

Typical
the one joke you know and I don't get it.

OH I DO

Heh, that's quite clever.

No, you were getting pissy because you thought I was making a half arsed attempt at having a go at you.
Which isn't my style at all. If I'm going to start on someone I generally get all my bitchiness out in one long diatrible about what a pathetic person they are, not just staying on the topic that had already been raised but moving off into several different tangents- always coming back to the main point, that point usually being something to do with torture, a lack of brain cells and a female parent that may or may not have been sexually involved with their dead father, the product of which being whatever poor person I'm having a go at.

I was honestly just asking if you knew of any.

No.
No I don't.

Also: diatrible. Is that a fulmination against small, furry aliens as featured in Star Trek?

No, I also don't know any funny typo jokes.

Do you know any jokes?

( Captain Wow If I show you the roses, will you follow?, Fri 28 Dec 2007, 13:20, archived)

None whatsoever.
