Hmmm, that reminds me of a lawyer joke.  What do you have when a lawyer is buried up to his neck in sand?  Not enough sand.
I see.
Hmmm, please remember that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
What does that suggest to you?
Pardon my digression.  Did you know that the knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss?
Harumf.  Harumpf.  Sorry, I just sneezed.  What was that again?
A witty saying proves nothing.
I'm not sure I understand you fully.
Pardon my digression.  Just remember that anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry.
Come now, elucidate your thoughts.
I'm reminded of a war story.  Old soldiers never die.  Young ones do.
Can you elaborate on that?
You should show respect for age. Drink good scotch whisky for once.

Didn't you get enough sleep last night, or what?
I'm reminded of something Winston Churchill said.  I like pigs.  Dogs look up to us.  Cats look down on us.  Pigs treat us as equals.
That is quite interesting.
I was just thinking.  If man evolved from the ape, how come there are still apes around?  Some of them made the right choice.
Fascinating.
That makes me think.  The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere is that none of it has tried to contact us.
I'm not sure how to react to that.
That made me think.  The world's a stage and most of us are unrehearsed.
Perhaps it will become clearer to you in the future.
I wish you could tell others about this.
Ahhem...
Go on, please.
That always makes me think of a lawyer joke.  How can you tell a lawyer is lying?  His lips are moving.
You're getting boring.  
Just a moment.  Another lawyer joke.  Why won't sharks attack lawyers?  Professional courtesy.
