.... AND YOU DON'T TELL THEM! When they miraculously "pass" the quarter coordination test, you scratch your head, exclaim that you don't know what went wrong, and let them walk around in public for as long as possible with a stripe of lead down their face!
...Meanwhile, it's probably turning out that everyone on the planet has been a party to this gag before and has known about it since second grade (where it belongs); **whilst I continue to embarrass myself with my obvious deficit in original or age-appropriate ideas.
Well Karen, I hope you're satisfied. In addition to making the above-mentioned spectacle of myself, I have obviously now decided not to go to sleep AT ALL today... Or yesterday... Or whenever it was. Prompted ONLY by your plea for an explanation that was issued in the early evening (and the demonstration by yet another poster, apparently in the minority thus far, of the ability to appreciate high brow wit); I have been hovering around here like a yellow jacket ever since. And it's time to work, and give any remaining brain cells to that, while fighting the urge to insert liberal references to bra size, drool, bikini lines and flying coffee tables into my reports (which I will staple on the right-hand side, causing my clients great and lasting anxiety).
Whereas otherwise, by now I would have procured a new and fulfilling career, fallen in love, had my first child, plucked that one mutant ape-like hair that grows between my eyebrows, moved mountains, won friends, influenced people, and built my quadriceps back up. THANKS A LOT KAREN!
** "Whilst" -- see? I am in reality far far away in another country, and therefore unobtainable to you. ;- )
