Should know that sometimes works.

Hypothetically I currently don't have a bottle of Becks in front of me but I want one and getting one sure would make me happy. Are you saying that getting one wouldn't make me happy? How would you know that because you don't know me? I am a simple man at heart and am easily pleased.

BTW the bottle of Becks I do have in front of me is making me happier by the second!

S/K - I can't speak for what makes you happy.

S/K - Hypothetically I have never won the lottery. Winning one would make me happy because I'd have it. Not winning doesn't make me unhappy even though I would want to win. :approve:

Should know your signature clearly says "Happiness isn't getting what you want but wanting what you have." It doesn't say "Happiness isn't getting what I want but wanting what I have."

So if I tell you that I am unhappy because I don't have a bottle of Becks but that getting one will make me happy your signature would then be wrong, specifically the bit that says "Happiness isn't getting what you want". Clearly I would be happy after receiving a bottle of Becks. Have you ever tried Becks, it really is lovely and it's only ever brewed in Bremen.

Anyway can you explain this signature anomaly?

S/K - My signature is mine. You'll have to make your own. :)

Oh yeah - you do.

Should know that I cannot claim my signature to be my own. It was actually uttered by the father of the world's most famous living American who I'm sure you know.

S/K - That sounds like something from the Simpsons. Which, would make it more infamous than famous. :rolling:

Should know that in one poll I read, of Americans, Homer was voted the most famous living American. Of course I can no longer find the article that claimed this but I know you'll believe me without it. :)

S/K - That poll must have been conducted by an unsavory Scot.

Should know there is a slight edit to this. One of my cohorts pointed out to me that the poll was actually an international one conducted by the BBC and it wasn't restricted to living Americans but to all Americans that there has ever been or still are.

One should note that this poll is dated 2003, before BO entered the stage, but I would contend it is still valid due to the overwhelming lead that Homer has over everyone else. And he doesn't smell as bad. Please read below:

Homer is the Bestest

S/K - Polls can be very misleading.

Should know I did some research of my own and found the correct article.

I'm shocked to have to say that I have discovered that Nonentity has been fiddling with the poll.

I just don't know what to say, how could he do such a thing!

My unreserved faith that, if it's in the paper or on the internet, it must be true, has been rocked to it's very core by this revelation.

S/K - This is very upsetting news. My faith in Non has gone to its lowest point ever. Although, I didn't think it could get lower lower than -∞.

Of course, it is a BBC poll, which, is definitely suspect.

Should know that the truly shocking thing is that this, wholly correct and unadulterated article, unlike the one provided by Nonentity, proves that Non is in fact an American masquerading as a Sott.

S/K - I'm not familiar with the term Sott. Except as an abbreviation for "Signs Of The Times".

S/K - I may need to update my dictionary.
