Which is why I now only respond to Gus and OmSigDavid. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Dear Gus and OmSigDavid;
An essential property of theorems is that they are derivable using a fixed set of deduction rules and axioms without any additional assumptions. This is not just a matter of the semantics of the language: the expression that results from a derivation is a syntactic consequence of all the expressions that precede it. In mathematics, the derivation of a theorem is often interpreted as a proof of the truth of the resulting expression, but different deductive systems can yield other interpretations, depending on the meanings of the derivation rules.

1. A swift, witty reply.
2. Conversation marked by the exchange of witty retorts.
I find this hard to believe. :wink:
And the two with whom you will play....
Quite a spread there Dys????
Why are there others on this thread? And where is David?

David is currently having a mystical experience while reloading.
Godwilling, with "bullets of enlightenment". :wink:
I wonder what would happen on a dusty Kansas street if David and cjhsa confronted each other. Let's put the time at high noon.

They would compare the size of their guns to start.
I think they would spot each other and immediately commence to firing. The battle would last well into the evening and by the time the bullets expired they both would still be standing, but every man, woman, child, and dog in that dusty little town would be riddled with holes.
And then they would have sparkling repartee

Yep. Neither of them has a decent aim. Not that it would matter to them. They'd just reload and keep firing. This would be their idea of a party.
My God, now I can't imagine why we missed Gus so much.
Dear Gus and David, this morning I think we should discuss this topic;
The transmogrifier is a fictional device invented by Calvin of Bill Watterson's comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It is capable of transmogrifying any object into any other object.
The first transmogrifier Calvin invents consists of an upside-down cardboard box (first appeared March 23, 1987) with the word "transmogrifier" handwritten on the side in marker. A dial on the side of the box may be pointed towards one of several settings, also marked on the box in marker. More settings can be added by simply writing them around the dial. A button initiates the transmogrification process, turning the thing under the box into whatever is indicated on the dial always accompanied by a loud "zap!" sound when activated. Calvin used his transmogrifier to great effect in the comic strip, transforming himself into a tiger, dinosaur, elephant and other animals.
Please keep in mind I continue to dislike repartee.
Calvin made subsequent improvements upon the transmogrifier technology, turning the box into a duplicator (by turning it on its side and writing "duplicator" on the side) and a time machine (by turning the box upright and writing "time machine" on the side). He also produced an improved, portable transmogrifier, which was incorporated into his water pistol. (This latter invention was once used as a button icon in a paint program for the Apple Macintosh, and the operation, which randomly mixed pixels, was named transmogrify.)
And further, what advanced weapons systems could Watterson and/or Calvin have added to this "transmogrifier" that would have increased Calvin's effectiveness in subduing any native populations he might have encountered on his travels through the space-time continuum?

Eva, I'm getting the sense that you are interjecting jocularity into this thread and as it has been documented that I am both stupid and without humour it is probably best that you refrain from such activity leaving Gus and David to ourselves in order to remain free of repartee. Is that really good chocolate? I'm having Assam Superb tea meself and it's windy here this morning. Here's hoping the leaves are blowing off my trees and into the neighbor's yard.

If you run out of tree leaves, I will dump a truck load of the leaves in my yard into your yard to make you happy if you will accept my inferior leaves.

Early indications suggest shiksa enjoys repartee as well as fruitcake covered with caramel.
