Person<\/strong>: okay. now, what kind of test do you think would adequately display your proficiencies?<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: The good kind of test do you think adequately display my proficiencies.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: that was a trick! the previous sentence was only marginally correct, so i can only award five out of ten possible points.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: I can also only award five out of ten possible points.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: oh, no, that was a proper question, so i get all ten.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: Understood.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: question 2: what is the difference between Latvia and nineteen carrots?<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: There is no difference.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: are you sure? you are offending most latvians with that calllous remark.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: I’m always sure.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: okay, another ten for me, none for you, and you also get an official reprimand from the latvian ambassador.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: It seems that I am more intelligent than you.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: that is demonstrably incorrect, as it is evidenced by the score and your responses that earned them.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: Yeah, demonstrably incorrect.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: aha, your first correct response! ten points for both of us.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: Leave my first correct response out of this.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: odd, but if you insist… that puts you back to five points.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: What are you trying to say?<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: what i am trying very hard not to say is that you are far behind in points.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: It seems that I am more intelligent than you.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: another incorrect response, ten for me, none for you! you may not realize that the scoring system rewards high scores, unlike golf.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: It seems that I am more intelligent than you.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: how long are you planning on living in your dreamworld, simply repeating this nonsensical mantra?<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: That is secret information.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: congratulations, another correct response!<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: I am always correct.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: look at the scorecard and the transcript – you are only correct in your own little imaginary universe.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: My ain little imaginary universe doesn’t concern you.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: spelling aside, you are correct again, but too late. you don’t get the jackpot, but you will be receiving a year’s supply of rice-a-roni.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: I’m not going to be receiving a year’s supply of rice-a-roni.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: sorry, the trucks are already on their way, you’ll have to discuss it with the company.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: If you say sorry to me again I will kill you.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: my, my, such a poor sport. who’s our next contestant?<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: Me.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: you are ineligible to play again, and even if you were eligible, we don’t allow dangerous individuals on the premises, so we have called the police.<\/div>\n
Mr. Hardware<\/strong>: No, I’m not ineligible to play again.<\/div>\n
Person<\/strong>: yes you are. goodbye.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
