After dinner drink, you appear to be a lovely and choice young female. An excellent spouse you would no doubt become. Unfortunately, I am already devoted, sexually active and legally united with a large body of water. ---

This one is still out there, although I must admit I added some red herrings to make it more interesting: > [@](#): > > I’m going to tell you about a special location. It isn’t in the city or even a small town. It’s a secret place, whose whereabouts are revealed to but a select few. It belongs to Fred, my Mom’s brother. It is in its present location because it was formerly used to raise agricultural products and perhaps livestock. At least that’s what Fred told me. But then the Senate passed legislation prohibiting the use of certain types of machinery, and thus interfered with the economic feasibility of the business, as the tasks of harvesting would henceforth have to be done by hand. ---

(a) Rouse me before you dance as they did in the 1960s; don’t leave me in the state that can be likened to a child’s toy. (b) In the antemeridian hours from a moving picture show featuring the star of “Casablanca”; in a nation-state where horologists reverse their field of study; you perambulate through the host of people in a fashion similar to that of another featured player in “Casablanca” considering an illegal act. © What would your response be if I were to vocalize music wrongly, would you regain an erect stance and remove yourself from my presence? (d) I enjoin you to begin disseminating the information; I depart before the coming midnight; I desire to become a piece of equipment it requires; the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt. And I believe this earlier one of mine hasn’t been answered yet: #43 (a) An opposable appendage at the end of a forelimb appears; an automobile passes. Is it not possible for an operator to halt his or her machine and aid a gentleman? I am seeking transport in another’s conveyance. There are a few that have not been answered; maybe we should post answers if nobody has got them. I’m certainly curious about a few. ---

a) When the room illumination is reduced to the extent to cease being present, the hazards inherent in the situation have reduced. We are present in the same location as yourself, and awaiting your efforts to provide entertainment. I currently feel less than my full mental acuity, and that others in my vicinity may be susceptible to a similar lack of mental acuity. We are present in the same location as yourself, and awaiting your efforts to provide entertainment. ## A light-skinned black person, A light-skinned white person, a tiny, bothersome bloodsucking insect prone to carrying disease, my sex drive! ## b) I greatly desire for you to greatly desire my presence. I have a strong requirement for you to require my presence. I would strongly appreciate it if you would have a strong emotional response of appreciation for my presence. I supplicate myself and implore that you supplicate and implore me #55, Red Barchetta, by RUSH (DAMN YOU, OAK!) #78, It’s the End of the World, by REM? #112c, A Little Help From My Friends ---
