Treat me with respect, Simie?

I do not require nor desire your tutelage ... as if you have anything 
to teach ...

Quite astonishingly and amazingly for you more expressive than a life ...

amazingly for you more expressive than SEX!"

>Enough of this. I can't stand here chatting to you.

don't like what's written, do the list a favor & hit the delete key 
....

How's my game-playing?  Oh, forget I ask ... like I care about your 
response ...
