Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that you were asking me about the lyrics of the James Taylor song, where he is talking about a "lead pipe cinch" and what could that possibly mean, which question reveals your complete ignorance of the board game of Clue, in which the murder may or may not have been committed by Professor Plum in the ballroom with the lead pipe. Only at the end of the game is it revealed who did what, until then you are only guessing and throwing things at the wall, and rarely is anyone so lucky as to guess everything rightly on their first turn. 

And if you give them an inch they will take a mile, because as they already told you themselves, they are vultures with sharp and pointy beaks, waiting for their opportunity to tear you to pieces, and if you are dead you are fair game to them, needless to say. And if they are telling you that they are vultures, you really should believe them, because that means that they are pecking at their prey, and by the time they are through with you you will never know what happened. Obviously. Needless to say.
