"It" very rarely is. Cementing relationships is usually a good idea though.

The evidence suggests that's how Mr. Conner got there.......it should work
about as well for anyone else.

The numbers were for Mr. Conner's benefit. It occurred to me that telling
him advance that he comprehends what he is reading would save him the
trouble of finding out for himself.

To tell whether a person is an engineer, or a mathematics/ Operations
Reasearch
type, give them the following problem:

A box contained 50 red socks and 50 green socks. You withdrew two socks;
one
green and one red. What is the probability of having a matching pair on
the
next withdrawal?

Everyone missed the obvious. 0%. If you have three socks, you don't have a
pair.

(Glad to help)

You want to be careful mucking about with orthography and morphemes, or you
too could end up as a St. Lord knows we'v got enough of those around her
already.

Uh, uh. I've got a male Hershey bar. Give me four dollars, a red sock, a
ticket to Portland, a female Hershey bar, a green sock, another male Hershey
bar, two more green socks, all the amputated letters in the state of
Florida, a battle cry, a digital camera, and I've STILL got a male Hershey
bar. Go further, and give me all the male Hershey bars in the world,
and......SURPRISE!.....I've STILL got a male Hershey bar.
