RE; "since you, yourself, asked me the question"

Without knowing what question or treatment you are referring to I have no knowledge or interest in any treatment you may or may not have had!

Please don't waste your, or more importantly, my time, with trying to provide a coherent answer, as if you would ever be capable of such a simple task!

 

Sure! 

 

I can agree to that. 

 

But, will you also agree never, again, to mention the name of Charles Dodgson?

I can't compete with your silliness.

I surrender. 

In my honest opinion, Sir, our days of silliness are surely drawing to a close. 

 

Even during the darkest of times, there is always room for humor. 

 

But, silliness, I am glad those days may be over. 

 

As George Patton once said, we are now facing the Golden BB, square between our eyes.

 

I hope that you will maintain a stiff upper lip. 

 

There is no way to predict just how serious this situation may become.

Ok, I have a serious question for you.

Do you know how golf was invented?

The more important question is.... 

 

WHY 

 

 

One reason golfing is good is that you get to mark your balls on the green. 

 

Also, the Canadian Geese during their migration. 

 

The beauty of the waterhole in autumn, with leaves turning. 

 

The silence when one is playing just before dusk. 

 

Watching other golphers dressed in clown suits. 

 

Being a MEMBER. 

 

The challenge of trying to get an Eagle on every single hole. 

 

Anyway, most of what I know about golphing, I learned from OddJob. 

 

In Thailand, golphing is super cheap. It's a poor man's game. 

 

In Hong Kong, if you want to play while watching the fairies go by, then you will need to pay millions, and wait for years. 

 

I have played golph, before. 

 

It was sort of like WhackaMole. 

 

Personally, I find it more pleasurable to hunt prairie dogs in the desert with a 0.15 magnum rifle with scope. 

 

I guess that you know, a 0.15 caliber rifle has an extremely flat trajectory. 

 

The muzzle velocity is about 5000fps. 

 

So, anyway, when that prarie dog sticks his head up out of the hole, then you just squeeze one off... 

 

And the projectile hits him between the eyes at over twice the speed of sound. 

 

It's like over and done before you even realize it. 

 

This is the power of the 0.15 magnum rifle. 

 

I never experienced quite the same rush, playing golf, even with a hole in one on a par three waterhole. 

 

Maybe it's just me.

Sorry. 

 

I should have stated 0.17 caliber. 

 

Anyway, you got this huge cartridge behind this teeny tiny projectile. 

 

And I stand behind my claim that this projectile exits the barrel at 5000fps. 

 

No need to look it up on the tables. 

 

Anyway, when that prairie dog sticks his head up, 

 

It's like BLAMMO! 

 

Game over. 

 

Anyway, the 0.17 magnum rifle is the fastest projectile I know of... 

 

Other than a rail gun. 

 

It's just a simple fact of Physics. 

 

Just remember 5000fps. That's tops.

I recall reading that just one shot from a blunderbuss could bring down 250 birds, in South Carolina. 

 

Not sure if this fact might be of interest.

What does this even mean, at my age?

so would you say one reason being over 70 rules is because you no longer need to stay on topic on internet forums?
