Yes means "no" and no means "yes!" 11 Jan 2010 23:28 #44596

There's an old trick (please use caution in telling this to any kids, because it may spread to someone who will use it to bully others): You say to someone "Yes means no, and no means yes! Do you want a smack in the face?" He loses either way. If he says "no," well that means "yes," and he gets a smack! If he says "yes," you say "Oh, you want a smack?" And you give it to him!
I suggest that we play a variation of the same game with the y"h: "Small Taiva = Big Taiva, and Big Taiva = Small Taiva." Here's how it works: If, c"v, we're faced with a big Taiva, we say "Sorry, y"h, don't you remember the rules? I never act on big Taivos, at least not TODAY." "Fine," thinks the menuval, "I'll give him a small Taiva." When that happens, you respond, "Stupid menuval, for such a small Taiva, I'm going to give up my sobriety?"  Then, you put your car into high gear, and run the menuval over! Then back up, and let your rear tires roll over him again for good measure! |

OK dude... I don't know what you were put through in your childhood, but the most intense version we had of this was "I know you are but what am I". . Who are you calling "dude", dude?! >  > > Yeah, I went through that one too! |
