My father didn’t get to do his military service because his mother arranged, through her social network, to have him declared flatfooted. His feet were fine, he wanted to serve and it was a sticking point with him until the day he died.
It’s a job offer. Maybe the kid would like to either hear it or say “I’ve already got the information and I’m not interested, thanks” by himself.
Hey, you know, fair enough. This isn’t GD, we don’t agree on things and thats it. I don’t appreciate being compared to a cave man, but its not like it hurts my feelings either.

Actually Truman did it, and it was extremely unpopular, and resisted by pretty much the whole General Staff. Supposedly, one general came to him and asked what he should say to a soldier who came to him and complained about having to bunk next to a negro. Truman’s replay was either, “‘Get the hell out of my office,’” or “Get the hell out of my office.”
I didn’t say you did, personally. In fairness the “shizaru chew whatever” remark that was made by boytyperanma was kind of funny, and I actually brought it up. But if I seem like a cave man to him (or her) oh well.
As reported by numerous people in this thread, saying no thanks yourself doesn’t do any good. They still call, over and over and over.
Not to mention that in that original story, it was the mothers house and presumably her phone. If she says not to call her possibly minor child or her home again, that request should be honored.
Oh yeah I know he didn’t really have semen in his his anus, or even an anus for that matter. He just always seemed a little light on his feet to me, you know what I mean?
