OkCupid, a dating site, tells you how often people respond. Some of today’s are: Replies “Bork bork bork!” Replies with quality, not quantity Replies Hi Opal! Replies in rhyming couplets Replies very awesomely Replies in the winter or the (summertime!) Replies with impeccable grammar Replies only on Mondays There were a number of other ones and it took me a couple of minutes to wonder what the hell is going on because they didn’t change all of them. ---
