Just...don't ask. OK?

I can't say who said this, nor in what context. Suffice to say it is a quote that stands on its own as a thing of beauty.

" There are two levels to every conversation. The majority of all conversation is to entertain and distract the cerebral cortex in order to slip a note under the table to the hindbrain which reads: Yo! Adult Male! There is an adult female paying attention to you! This could be nifty!"

To the speaker of this bit of wisdom, I thank you. Your secrets remain safe with me.

Yeah, and on the other side of the table, the man is going "Nah, she's not interested. She hasn't sent one little sign that she's interested. I reckon I'm going to have to sit here all night talking to find out. I wish she'd indicate something."

Which is why most of the women will terminate the conversation with "Oh, you're no fun", while some of us will lean across, grab him by the ears and drag him off, in desperation because he hasn't gotten the hint.

This has all kinds of disturbing implications for your typical day on Wards. ;-)

This is a secret? I thought everyone knew this. :)

Do you really think you know who said this, and under what circumstances, and who the other party is?

The statement of course is not big a secret.
