May I ask you a question?

What are the three most important axioms in your life?

Ravs

[Holden McGroin]

Sorry to barge into this conversation, but those are 2 questions...

[ravells]

shreck off smart arse.

Ravs

[Nash]

Would it have been more appropriate to say "May I ask you two questions?"

....then ask only one?

[ravells]

and you can shreck off too.

Ravs

1. Crush your enemies.
2. See them driven before you.
3. Hear the lamentation of the women.

[Nash]

McGroin's comment made no sense... I'm on yer team here.

[ravells]

I have an entirely different agenda.

I have to catch a plane in about 4 hours.

I hate flying, so I've drunk enough to stay awake to get on the plane and then pass out when I get there.

Ravs

[Holden McGroin]

Should you ask to ask 2 questions?

I think so Nash, the first question would be to politely ask for permission to ask the second, so your second question would then be the question you actually wanted an answer to in the first place.

So if you asked a permission and then asked a single question after permission was granted, you would be asking two questions. So you should ask for permission to ask two questions, assuming permission would be granted to ask the first in order to ask the second question.

Hmmm...I see 2 questions.  Yeah...ok, grrrrrrrreat.

[Nash]

Heh...


This is supposed to make sense?:


"May I ask you a question?"

"Yes."


..... the end.

Who does that?

Sure. Doesn't mean I can answer it.

I'm not exactly sure how to answer that. You're asking me to condense something sort of complex and difficult to explain into a few short statements. I'm not sure I can. And I'm not sure I want to try.

Why do you ask?

[ravells]

I was asking the question of Virgil!

Nice of you all to pitch in.............but where is he?

Ravs

[ravells]

Virgil appears!

just curious Virgil, you seem to have very fixed views.

Happens all the time here.  Drives me nuts.  I usually reply with a "no" and walk away.
