Wow, I had no idea the topic would get this many replies. 😃 > [@hillbilly queen](#): > > Wow, this is confusing to read. Isn’t it, though? But I find it really makes people to be tricky and use their brains to know how to reply. > [@fishbicycle](#): > > Yeah, I guess that’s right. Oh, you know it. > [@Hal Briston](#): > > Why do these things always seem to remember to mention Oral Sex and my wife? :dubious: Hahaha, ever since your reply to the one topic of mine about sexual practices. 😛 > [@Lobsang](#): > > Creative idea for a thread. Thank you. ---

Look, for the last time, I don’t get why you are willing to admit to all my points, save what the result is. What would it take to get you top admit this is a real phenomena? Do do, dah do dah. ---

I agree - it’s all the people complaining who seem to have missed the humour of the OP. I still claim the correct answer is ‘hedgehog’. ---

Screw all of you. No one ever takes me seriously. It doesn’t really matter, I suppose, since I won’t be around long enough to suffer much more of your abuse. Bastards. ---

Oh come on, stop complaining about this topic…it’s just for fun! Need I tell you all again, like I said earlier, that I got the idea from a TV show that ran about 45 years ago? I can’t remember, though what the exact was year or how long it was on for that day…but I feel the need to remind you all again how I got the idea. > [@Scott Plaid](#): > > But they could. I did list 3 points to how it could be. Whatever. Give it up. JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald…NOT the alien clones. ---

Not that I don’t think this is a funny thread ('cause I do and it is), but people get pretty sensitive about the false attribution of quotes. And, of course, we all know it’s a big no-no to do it. Certain allowances–for certain infractions–can be made for ‘teh funny’ threads, but I’m gonna have to discuss this with the rest of the staff to see whether this thread can live on. Until then, it’s closed. ---

The Powers That Be have decided that the misquote rule is unbendable, even when done in jest. Members have been severely reprimanded (and in a few cases banned) for showing disregard for this rule. Sorry, folks . . . this thread will remain closed. **Cajun Man** for the SDMB
