      @dillyd Did you stare blankly at them for a moment to detect the punchline or to avoid saying something scathing?

                  Reminds me of that gesundheit joke.

                  Another tangent flashback: I wish I could recall right now a misheard lyrics bit of my friend but I can't. That one sent me weezin' for minutes. I was blue in the face. It'll come to me later. Probably when I try to sleep.

                                          @dillyd that seems far more reasonable than the other way around . Still silly but less silly
