Maybe resident aliens or illegal aliens :-)

OK, I need a link to a translator.

:-)

:-) Maybe I need a new translator...

"wisdom of man can only to emerge fully to ask very display of this facing"

Or an interperator

The actual translation is:

"knock it off, dumbass, before I ban you".

Oh, and before anybody else takes offense, he was speaking to me.

But what does yours translate to for those of us who are clueless?

Like the Fawlty Towers bit, "he has looking at you but talking to me" :-)

I just knew I remembered that from somewhere! PNOON sends me that all the time in PM! :-)


Thank you David. :-)

Or as I like to say, keep the explanation simple.

I remember a student who was having trouble with the HPLC, an instrument we were using to measure vitamin A.

He gave a long and convoluted explanation of what he thought was happening. I asked if he checked to see if the light bulb was burned out. He hadn't. It was. Simplest explanation wins again.

Please excuse me for being thick, but what did you mean?

Occam's razor is one of my favorite principles and I often use it in business to simplify complex transactions, in truth it is also the same principle I used to decide to stop working.

You're excused. :-)

While it might not have been the OP's intent that this be the case I do agree with Moe in that it certainly did come across that way.

The post was in my opinion intended to illicit argument not debate which in my opinion are very different ends of the spectrum, in several cases the counter posts from the OP took a personal edge.

Anyway the best bet is too ignore these types of threads, however I seem to be drawn like a moth to a flame, I sometimes take on a high moral position (at least in my mind) that is not necessarily healthy or in fairness sufficiently supportable, in doing so I see the flaws in my own approach......................typically after I hit submit reply

Thank you.

I rereading my response I can see how the "excuse me" could come off more like the old Steve Martin bit. Sarcastic. However, I am honestly not making the connection the Seangar is making and blaming me for not being able to do so.

Look for the simplest explanation in things.

In this case, what is the simplest explanation for the observation that cigars purchased in a B&M taste better than ones bought online.

1. Age of cigars.
2. Selection by the manufacturer giving better smokes to the B&M.
3. Other.

I think you would agree that age is a simpler explanation than anything else, as there is no active involvement of anybody in the difference.

Of course, the simplest explanation is not always the right one, but looking at problems this way is often helpful.

That's why I tend to go with the amatuerphylactics rather than the prophylactics. I like to keep it simple, and I don't wanna feel all "uppity" when I'm gettin sexy. :-)

A way of looking at it. Granted.
