Answer the Question with a Question (6)

[Chesterton]

Is "cover them" an Australian expression I don't know?

 

[Philip_B]

What would you think I meant if I suggested that I had covered some of my son's expenses?

 

[Chesterton]

I would understand that you'd paid your son's expenses, and I think I just realized that you meant bills as in accounts payable but I thought you meant bills as in paper currency, so now it makes sense to me, doesn't it?

 

[lucypevensie]

Aren’t you more qualified to answer that than we are?

 

[Chesterton]

Yes, you're right, but it never hurts to be indecisive and second-guess yourself when it's required by the rules of the game. Right?

 

[lucypevensie]

So, you weren't really serious?

 

[Chesterton]

Me? Serious?

 

[lucypevensie]

Can't you just come down to earth once in a while?

Which question?

 

[Chesterton]

Aren't all the questions being evaded?

 

[Uriah S]

Are not all the questions being evaded? Can I think about that?

 

[lucypevensie]

How much time do you need?

 

[Uriah S]

Is that a question for me only, or can anyone answer?

 

[Philip_B]

Are you questioning my ability to frame an adequate response?

 

[Uriah S]

Are you overlooking my inability to pose an appropriate question?
