Nothing to do with US Congress. This is the Executive Committee of the General Forum party and its National Congress. As a full Executive Committee member (although of course not a member of the Politburo) I really thought you would have known that. Get with the program Ranger Joe - the Committee can always have you replaced......

Or am I already at my incompetence level according to the Peter principle? If I was married I would know this since my wife would inform me. But since I am still free . . .

LoL - that is what I thought but saw Zorch's post and assumed I'd missed it off my post. But it would appear that both yourself and Zorch removed the symbol when making your subsequent posts. [shakes fist in exaggerated black and white comedy stylee] Grr you rotters!




And I thought £ was the short form for the word pound. If so, it could be interpreted liberally. I could give a couple hundred pounds of flesh.

No, £ is not the short form for pound. £ is the short form for pound sterling. And pound sterling is the official currency of UK. So pounds of flesh will not do if you pay in £.

Because the Executive Committee of the General Forum has a certain level of numptiness. So counting beyond twenty-five pages is too much to ask.

I understand. It is difficult counting past the number of fingers and toes on your hands and feet.

Perhaps the Executive Committee of the General Forum can educate the numpty in the art of counting nostril hairs in order to help with the more advanced math?

One could. But unless they were being circumlocutious why would they? I believe that one should eschew obfuscation.

Excuse me! Excuse me! [bangs on desk with a shoe]

Sorry. Too Russian.

Anyways, as I was saying, let's not rush to vote on this one singular issue. There are so many useful numptinian votes we could have. Comrade Zilch raises an excellent (for him) suggestion. One that paws at the very back door of one's imagination, needing to go outside for a logistical tinkle.

I think we should cast a net and canvas our local numptinian comrades. Those that have 'contributed' to this thread would be good for starters. I think the question we should ask our...erm...'illustrious' group gathered here today should be:

"What numptinian or numpty-like votes do people desire here today?"

I believe that the question you've forwarded for a vote is worthy of consideration. I also believe that Zilch's 'Why are not the rest of us numpty' is an interesting question to be posed as well. I for one countenance both of these questions-and more-as our present company shall identify in good time.

Why thank you, Comrade CB.

As a great non-numpty writer put it, to be (Numpty) or not to be (Numpty)? That is the Gesaltachuken.

I hypothesize that it (numptiness) cannot be proved or disproved within a logically consistent system. It is undecidable except by observation.

But comrade CB The question has been put to the people and must be answered by the Central Committee for the people. To add additional questions at this juncture is merely vacillation and as an apparatchik of the old school you are conversant with the dangers inherent in this course of action, no? Let us have no more procrastination, the proletariat demand answers!

He is not. My Lord Warspite, the first, is a true genius, and to call him a numpty is a mockery and it will not stand. The committee is making a fool of itself for making such a claim. I call upon the chair for the Committee on Committees to create a committee that will examine how such a obviously false statement could have been made at all, and that he initiates the creation of the Committee for overseeing Committee oversights.
