I had assumed that your prior brush with me was sufficient to convince you, but now I must, as it were, wrestle you to the mat and implant this thought in your fuzzy brain -- you are a fringe player in this game. Thus far I have only been teasing. Does that shock you? No matter how you bob and weave, or even wiggle, the bald truth is that you cannot top this post!

it would be a close shave were I to make such an attempt, but I do believe your last snippet of wit would come out a cut above. glad to have ironed that out - I was dyeing to see you untangle your puns once again. Neither upbraid me nor snarl at this concession - it is, I assure you, no play to beard you.

plucky, ain't I?
