Slim and Zoe,
Thank you both for providing the entertaining banter on a really dull day. I really mean that. Slim, Zoe seems to be a smart girl, her conclusions are sound. I understand your points and your sense of humor, there is the smell of military all over it. I did my time so I understand the attitude. I don't think Zoe realizes what you are about.
Zoe, the way Slim is talking is natural for his background. It is not personal.
Now I will shut up and mind my own business.
