Aw, come on - you can do better than that! I wanted to play hardball, but 
this is too easy.  There isn't even an element of truth in it, so how the 
hell am I supposed to feel threatened enough to fight back?

That's better - but still not good enough.  You have to give me an 
example here, so I might be able to spot an element of truth.

Why is it that you and I always come to EXACTLY the same conclusion with 
respect to each other?

Getting better, but still no element of truth.  I guess the Dow Jones is 
on the way back up again. See George, you continuously prove to us time 
and time again that you are as completely inept in my environment as I am 
in yours.

[etc....]

Like I said before Georgie-boy, stop sending me this bullshit rhetoric, 
and I'll let you lick your wounds in peace.
