Do you pronounce that with a click sound? Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 10:15:29 PM
But only when Tigr or TMJ call me. I just love calling them "b*tch."


Though I guess that would probably be "b!tch".

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

I think "May I ask who's calling" is more polite. Sareitha Sedai - 22/09/2010 08:26:55 PM 1068 Views

I say, "May I ask who's calling?" Tigr - 22/09/2010 09:00:10 PM 1071 Views
What do you do if they say "No" ? TaskmasterJack - 22/09/2010 09:43:42 PM 1008 Views
Than you say. ''Ok." They may have a reason for not disclosing their name. Aeryn - 22/09/2010 09:49:56 PM 1028 Views
That reason is often that they are nutters. M & M Maddy - 22/09/2010 10:29:19 PM 1134 Views
I hate it when people pull the "attorney-client privilege" thing. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 11:31:01 PM 937 Views
They are almost invariably nutters. Elaine - 23/09/2010 01:45:41 PM 1380 Views
