My god, that was just so romantic! And no wonder, when Darcy asked her if her true feelings were the same as before (in which case he would be silent forever on these matters*), she quivered to say how differently were her feelings now.[1] In particular, note also, and I am running a fine line here after a previous promise, how Darcy remarked that nothing Elizabeth had previously said had he not thoroughly deserved! [1] Does anyone not understand how bold this was? He was staking everything. -- dorayme

Yes, "Oh, dear..." is just about right. You imagine all the wrong and crudest of things. Talk about fantasy! I mean, look at your crude boast a while back about the size of your member. That is fantasizing. I think it is time for me to give you a little parable: Dave had been hobbying for years with a circular saw. He'd learnt over the years to be extremely careful around the machinery, but one day while doing some fine detailed work, he leaned too close to the circular saw and cut off his member. He didn't panic - he just picked the severed member up, wrapped it in a tissue and drove to the hospital. Shortly after arrival, the surgeon visited Dave and his wife in the ward. 'The good news', he said, 'is that we can reattach your part with microsurgery. I'm confident that after the operation, it will be able to perform its primary function - pissing on people - as well as ever. 'The bad news is that there's been some nerve damage, and simple surgery won't be sufficient to restore its - how shall I put it? - its manly function. Don't worry: there's a procedure we can perform - insertion of a prosthesis - that will overcome this problem. 'However, even though the basic reattachment is covered by Medicare, the prosthesis insertion is regarded as elective surgery, and since you don't have health insurance, you'd have to pay yourself. The cost would be about $9000.' 'Well, we've built up a little nest egg over the years that would cover it', said Dave. 'But my wife and I will need to discuss it.' 'No problem', said the surgeon. 'I'll leave you alone for ten minutes, and then you can tell me what you'd like to do.' Ten minutes later, the surgeon returned. 'So what have you decided?', he asked. 'We're getting a new kitchen.' -- dorayme |
