This just in:
In today's lab classFemale student says to Distinguished Teaching Prof: "My friend REALLY likes you"
DTP (looking Cheshire Cat-esque): "Really?"
Student: "Yes, she's ALWAYS talking about you."
DTP: "Gosh... I can't imagine there's that much to say."
Student: "No, no, she's always going on about how great you are."
DTP: "Wow..."
Student: "Yes, she always says that she wishes that you could be her father."
DTP: <sound of balloon deflating>
Me? Long way to go yet: I walked into a bar with a new friend in Maine, and got asked for my ID.

HAHAHAHAHahahaha! Thanks!
I was miffed (a bit) when I didn't get carded in the States.
Why do children age women so much more than men? It's bloody unfair.

I guess I should be gallant here and say you looked younger than I imagined, when we met in London.
It would be true, too.

And how ungallant of ME not to check back or actually read my feeds.
Thanks! I suppose it will come across all hypocritical if I said it was the same the other way around.
Okay, lack of sugar is getting to my head. Off for lunch.

Good afternoon. One of the best rules in conversation is, never to say a thing which any of the company can reasonably wish had been left unsaid.
I am from Venezuela and bad know English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "The small times tried would run of much 60,000 1990s."
