Go on, girl!  You tell 'em.  In fact, Andrew, if you do not retract 
that statement this sociology and anthropology degree holder (who 
only just scraped through her required Natural Science course with 
the help of an engineer friend) will be forced to email you a 40-page 
outline paper (the real thing will be sent at a further date), 
complete with full footnotes and bibiography, as to the possible 
causes of your prejudice towards people such as myself who have to 
take their socks off to count beyond 10, and the social consequences 
thereof.  Or some such nonsense.

*Never* mess with a woman who can take an 800-word essay and stretch 
it to 1200 words without adding a single, solitary relevant fact.  I 
wasn't nicknamed Fluff Miester during my uni years for nothing.  I'll 
not only bore you to tears and overload your Adjective Tolerance 
Level, I'll also miscount the pages.  So there.
