Thanks, but it’s really not so bad. I mostly just hate to waste the athletic skills fate has entrusted to me, so I donate my salary to charity and live off of the income from my life saving medical patents.
Though I myself have cured several forms of cancer, I decided that I should not earn a living through the illnesses and mishaps of others. Still, one does what one must.
Life-saving, dear. Or lifesaving, if you must. Perhaps you should save enough money from your NBA career to invest in a spell-checker, hm?
Some of us, of course, were blessed with enough brainpower to not need them, but the little people deserve good spelling too.
The Most Interesting Man in the World called me up today asking for advice, and I had to finally tell him to pay up the previous invoices or I’m going to have to cut him off. The nerve of some people!
You’re very kind, but I did mean life saving, in the mundane sense of “saving lives.” Only five of my patents actually have anything to do with aquatic rescue. Is that not correct stylistically? I beg your forgiveness, as English is my sixth language.
Now there’s something enviable! It must be so convenient to be able to count how many languages you can speak.

Oh, you have to count? How unfourtunate. I can just say that I speak them all.
And yet you spell “unfortunate” rather… creatively, and code like someone’s granny. :dubious:
I was such a poor student in high school that my GPA was only 1/1000th of my SAT score.
One day I will tell you all about laying those Siamese twins who played the trumpet.
It was a trombone, and they were triplets…did they not tell you…?
That just means he speaks British too.
That is the most nested quotes I’ve seen since I designed that designed that messageboard software from scratch on that computer I built from things in my kitchen.
Well, sadly not. You see, being fluent in British - though I mention this purely as a matter of fact; boasting about it, over here, would be seen as deplorably gauche - I’m in a position to call you on your… sharing of the earlier poster’s creativity. :dubious:
Obviously you are not familiar with the specific dialect of British written on a tiny island just South of Japan where I spent three years hunting whales with my bear hands. (Yes, bear hands. Not bare hands. BEAR hands.)
A long time ago I developed the “edit” function, and I mention it here only because you could probably have used it to delete (ah, “delete,” another of my favorite creations!) one of the “designed that” phrases in your post.
At the beginning of the year I resolved to be a better person, so I am not going to brag about myself. Honest. Though it really limits my topics of conversation.
