In amongst all these awfully important questions, I think a riddle is in order. An oldie, but a goodie, in my humble opinion.

Everyone was on a first name basis until suddenly someone got something in his eye. What happened?

If you get the right answer, you'll get nothing but the satisfaction that you got it right.

[No, wait, he can make it fun for him, too.]

...That and a mystery gift.

Okay. Is it stupid.

[onlyanapple]

Define 'stupid'.

[samson]

Is it something -- you know what, I know it's gonna be stupid. We can wish for anything we want, so your gift's gonna be something nobody would want.

It's that sort of lateral thinking that could be used to solve these puzzles I give out on occasion.

[samson]

To be honest, I usually just tune you out.

[onlyanapple]

Now, really, was there any need for that?

[samson]

Hey, most people value honesty.

[onlyanapple]

There's a fine line between regular honesty and the brutal kind.

[samson]

Pfft. If you can't take a little criticism...

[onlyanapple]

I can't say I'm a fan of it.

[samson]

Kind of a weird trait for a demon, right? Thin skin?

[onlyanapple]

In case you haven't noticed, I'm not a normal demon.

[samson]

You're pretty much the only one I know.

[onlyanapple]

That's probably a good thing.
