"Off with his head!" shouted the mullah. The crowd roared. The doctor was stuffed into postition, the executioner jerked the lanyard and - nothing heppened. They took the doctor out and tried it on a goat. Chop! It worked perfectly.

    A big cry went up from the crowd. "Spare the doctor. It is the will of God!" And the doctor was freed.

    Next they dragged up to lawyer. "I'm a lawyer. I can represent your cause before the world court..." he was stuffed into the guillotine... the lanyard... nothing happened... the goat... the crowd "...the will of God" and the lawyer was freed.

    Next they dragged up the teacher. He said: "There's a little nut that stops the latch lever every other pull. Gimme a file and I could file it down."
    Incomiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, don't bully meh!

    There you go again with your ‘we all’. Interesting bit of psychology there. Tbh I’m already ignoring your mate and I’d be more than happy if you ceased to respond too until you speak some sense. Your choice.

    What’s the difference between an accountant and a lawyer? The accountant knows they’re boring.
    Whats the difference between an actuary and an accountant? The actuary found accountancy simply too exciting

    Nice one...I’d heard...’what do you call an accountant with an opinion? An actuary’...and I suppose they’re on much the same theme.
    You’d know better than me.

    Maybe we should call it quits now as we’ve both wasted too much time. I see your friend the blunt instrument has arrived. Perhaps you could inform him that I’ve never accused anyone of bullying in my life and it’s not about to start now, least of all over something that was posted about six hours ago.

    When is a quote not a quote? Answers on a postcard to GP who obviously knows the answer based on this quote and the previous one to which I replied...... hole, dig, deper........

    The point being GP, people can only understand what you write unless you add a reference and/or explanation. What you wrote points people in a particular direction. As far as I know, none of us on here are psychic and would therefore be unaware that you were misquoting Heller.
