Nicley put Cecil. I like the lil hints of sarcasm that u put in yur answers. The one thing that i dont agree with is the part where you said that it wouldn’t throw the world off balance if everyone got up on their chairs then jumped off and landed . getting up on the chair wouldn’t make a difference ne way…I think. U may disregarde everthing i’ve said because I am a bumbling idiot, but thats ok. Thanx…i think. BYE
