Some of us are naturally sneaky.

And it's you I learn from. One day, the student will become the master.

You have to have these experiences to learn that though. Smarts is smarts. Guile and cunning takes a little longer.

The fact you have to ask means you won't understand the answer.

So you don't know then.

How's that snake oil consultancy in any way?

Irrelevant and incomparable situation.

I detest snake oil consultants that line their pockets in this way.

Have you forgotten to take your lithium? You could try swallowing a CR2032 battery instead.

This. I knew a guy who was an agricultural engineer. One particular model of tractor had a 'feature' whereby a small stone could jump up and lodge in the workings somewhere preventing the hydraulics functioning correctly. He got loads of work from that issue, but never told any farmers about it cos then they'd fix it themselves and he wouldn't be able to bill for it and wouldn't pick up other work whilst he was on site.

If you're that smart, you'd know how to time the solution so you look good without pissing off the rest of the team. If you've got to have it fixed within the hour, thirty-five minutes is probably the best time to announce you've found it.

Also, if anyone tries to watch you do the analysis - stop working. They don't need to know you found it in 5 seconds.

Hey! That is exactly right! Suity must be a god!

Loving the new moccasins btw. Very you. X.

Yep. God of Cretins.

You know in the sitting room, next to your reclining armchair there's that little stacked nest of tables you put your pint on? Opposite that, in the alcove there's the little unit with the peeling Formica you always never quite get around to replacing? They're on there next to the rolled up copy of heat magazine you were reading while astride the downstairs loo.

You're a genius. Lost my glasses yet again. Can you tell me where I put them?

Try it and see. Best approach is gently and from behind.

Only Assassins do it from behind.
