> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > IQ: Are you the wife of Socrates? Ding! Ding! Ding!

And that is just my case. I wish to deal with human beings, to associate with man in general; hence my choice of wife. I know full well, if I can tolerate her spirit, I can with ease attach myself to every human being else.” _Nai,_ I am Xanthippe! Good one, KO! ---
