    The testing is always catching up to the actual use of!! I mean even today it still leaves a lot to be desired so I suspect in Roy's time it was farcical! I bet he had more juice in him than a Mexican butcher's picnic hamper. Corrupt as **** boxing is.

    yuh...you keep waiting all u want.

    Just out of interest, why haven't you understood what an analogy is?

    Here, one last chance - those three analogies were used to show there is definitely a difference between their ages. The first here -

    1. the analogy that there is a difference between someone, say, 30 and someone say 40. I would draws your attention to the word -

    "SAY"

    Why would I need an analogy for this:

    Who was 30 & who was 43? Waiting..

    Because I didtn write that.

    Why don't you quote the words I wrote, with the word "SAY" in it, indicating hypothetical question? That will end this convo.

    I'd rather keep you out of the ignore box for the amusement factor, but you are getting tiresome.

    Laughable.

    Why would you use an analogy of a 30 & 40 year old? Especially when you know there ages? Why didn't u give there age instead of trying to imply something other through use of analogy? What was the actual age gap? Then we can compare your analogy to this to see if it holds up?

    & who was 43? Waiting..

    because its analogy. If I used joe and bernard, ....it'd not be an analogy, it would be the real thing.

    It wont make it anything less than what it is if you keep repeating your obstinance that the obvious analogy (made obvious by the way "say" is in the sentence) isnt an analogy. But you can try shouting as hard as you can to change the english language, be my guest.
