LOL, reminds me of some PM conversations I've had as a Mentor... :smile:
I'm sure they would be charmed by your analogy.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be pejorative about PF members. The vast majority of my PM conversations have been good. But as with all Mentors (and probably some regular members), there are times when a PM conversation takes a turn that you did not see coming. I'd post a few examples, but the new PF software doesn't keep information archived for very long...

Just kidding, Berke, I cannot begin to have the patience you display.

Heh, I don't ride a motorbike, either. I still found the joke hysterical. No need to get carried away with woke thematics.

I don't get it. Mt. Rushmore is in South Dakota -- nowhere near Canada, is my point. And it faces more east than it does south. Is the meme trying to say that Wyoming or maybe Montana is supposed to be Canada?!

And your former presidents are remarkably limber if they can get their heads upright and serious looking while their back ends are in that position...

You've been made into an honorary German. I plead license/leeway in the jokes section. Rigor elsewhere, but more of a " You know what I mean" here.

No. It's just a well-known fact that British Columbians have excellent vision.

Maybe that was the bar where some physicist wrote a preprint that I once saw in grad school, about "topless bottom models."
