Answer the Question with a Question (6)

[lucypevensie]

Um…yes?

 

[Philip_B]

When was Um ever a question?

 

[Ceallaigh]

Hasn't Um been in question since the time of Er?

 

[lucypevensie]

Would a comma have been a better punctuation mark than the ellipsis?

 

[Chesterton]

Did you know that a definition of "punctuation" is "the use of symbols not belonging to the alphabet of a writing system to indicate aspects of the intonation and meaning not otherwise conveyed in the written language"?

 

[lucypevensie]

Are you going to name the source of that quotation?

 

[Chesterton]

Do you have the audacity to doubt my veracity and insinuate that I prevaricate?

 

[lucypevensie]

Why such big words?

 

[Cash80]

So, you rather prefer to have a small talk?

 

[RileyG]

Why would anyone prefer small talk?

 

[lucypevensie]

Aren’t both big talk and small talk useful in specific instances?

 

[Vesper_Jaye✝️]

Doesn’t small talk bore you?

 

[bbbbbbb]

Do small minds such as mine get easily bored?

 

[Chesterton]

You mean bored like with a drill?

 

[mama2one]

do you think my woodworker husband gets bored with his drill?

 

[bbbbbbb]

Have you asked him yourself?

 

[Vesper_Jaye✝️]

Don’t you think any woodworker would like drilling? (I know I do! I love anything that makes sawdust! But drilling doesn’t make too much sawdust, unless you mean a drill bit.)

 

[Philip_B]

Do you have a router? They are very good for sawdust.

 

[bbbbbbb]

Speaking of drilling, has anyone asked their dentist their opinion about drilling?

 

[lucypevensie]

How does a fire drill fit into this conversation?
