Hey, you! Come here, and I'll give you your opinion.

Well?

Okay, I’m here. What do I get?

Yes, I’ve been wondering about my opinion on the use of triple versus double corrugated cardboard. Where do I stand on that?

Your favourite flavour is brown.

You thinks it’s all just a bunch of silly wankery. When will people start focussing on what’s really important, like brown vs. white cardboard?

Well, I don’t want your opinion. Give me my opinion.

Your opinion is not often - sometimes, but only if you’re in just the right mood.

I’ve been of the opinion that the art in the break room at work is quite the ugliest stuff on three planets. Seriously, it’s the Vogon poetry of paintings. Can you give me a new opinion so I can stop the rising tide of hatin’ every time I go in there?

What if I don’t want an opinion? What if I want a point of view or a notion, or just to be of a mind on something?

Perhaps we could exchange opinions? If you give me your opinion of off-shore drilling, I’ll give you my opinion of The Beatles (they’re not that great and no one under the age of 50 should have any interest in them).

I agree?

That little spot of red is a lovely, pure colour.

Down the hall, bub.

No dice, happy bunny man. It’s a one-way street around here, capiche? You like anchovies, and that’s just the way it is.

No, you don’t. In fact, you’re thinking of doing something about it.

If I absolutely had to have sex with a muppet-man, would I choose Bert or Ernie?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, iPad, or Virginia class nuclear submarine?

What’s my opinion of orack and opinion osteering?

You oppose it.

Hah, you think I don’t see through your trick question? You’re a Big Bird freak from way back.
