Yes, it is a bit mystifying to ponder, what makes you think that turkey is anything more than a crazy bird fit only to be slaughtered and roasted and eaten for Thanksgiving dinner? No one ever said anything more than that about turkey, so how did you extrapolate to the Middle East? What inductive study tactics did you use to arrive at such a radically off-the-wall conclusion? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, I was wondering if you were telling me that Joan is Exxon, in Spanish Esso. I do not quite remember that, but you could not prove anything by me either way. Exxon, Shell, Mobile, Chevon — blah blah blah. Whatever that meant. Maybe Joan was talking to Carmen about that and maybe I would have overheard that because my assigned desk was directly behind Joan in the alphabetical order of things. But I am not paying that much attention.

Yes, I suppose that you would also expect me to offer some disjointed commentary on the topic of Gary Arnold, a guy from college ofwhom I remember almost nothing. He was already married in college, her name was Georgia, so not a person of interest that I would care to learn more about.

Yes, that was so rude of the Wilsons to try to dump their Persian connections on me. He is obviously their cousin, not my problem. How would I know how that connects elsewhere? I only see a guy in the yearbook who has his mother's surname of Wilson tacked on to his surname in the Spanish way, but come to think of it he does vaguely resemble the other Wilsons. So what about that?

Yes, I do not know how you are not ashamed of allowing those hackers free reign. And there is nothing that I can do to get rid of them, short of basically committing suicide eventually.

Yes, I vaguely remember during college taking a class from ProfessorNoel Wilson, and the only other student was Mike Rogers, so there were only three of us there at the time. Weird how that exploded into some huge poison cloud. It was only one small class that never amounted to very much as I never had the circumstances to do much of anything with that. Yes, why did I waste so much getting A's in the weekly quiz on Western Civilization, taught by Professor Louis Wilson? For what do I need history when there is nothing to do with that later?

Yes, I did notice how Susie was talking about those guys. She said they were so friendly, it was as if they were politicians running for office, always trying to ingratiate themselves with all of the people who might be able to vote for them. I sort of get what she meant by that, but also that was somewhat too exaggerated. It is sort of not fair to them to be caricatured that way when everybody has to do certain things to establish themselves in their lives and professions. It sort of makes me wonder who is she channeling nowadays, because anyway, she is not really who she was when we were first met at age 10. Her birthday is a month before mine and always will be, so whatever. I cannot be expected to keep track of all of these people. Life sometimes takes us in very different directions from where we thought we would be later.
