Correct syntax conditional comment?

If not, a brief exchange with my significant other will set you straight in
no time.

You're definitely funnier since you stopped being nerdyboy

People who talk to themselves are nut cases

A group of the people who worked for me once teased about talking to
myself, until I pointed out that "Those seem to be the only intelligent
conversations I can have around here."

Besides, people who talk to themselves aren't the nut jobs, it's the
ones who answer back.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted,
then used against you.

Never even _heard of_ that film! I'll be sure to remain oblivious to it if
I can.

It is general rule that if keen film buffs have not heard of a
film, it is probably not very good. But I have come across *many*
exceptions to this.

Actually, I enjoyed it for what it was, in spite of its flaws. It was an
engaging escape with no pretensions. It didn't try to sermonize, it
didn't portend to carry some "great underlying meaning." Just because I
appreciate a well prepared strip steak, doesn't mean I can't enjoy a hot
dog at the ballpark.

Sometimes, no one is game to answer back even then. Witness the
scene in Taxi Driver where Robert De Niro is shaping up in front
of a mirror in his dingy rented room...

Don't get me going William! Underneath its painting by numbers I
was seeing a highly unlikely cloying social message about
families. But never mind, the main thing was its straining
unlikelihoods. Superman was far more honest and likely in my
estimation.

The best line in it? A rather nice sort of understatement! It was
when Ford said, towards the end, in answer to a question about
what he was doing, "I am looking for my dog". He was too!

I realise this following bit is going to be strictly OT but If
you want a film that is a rollicking good natured tale with no
'great underlying meaning', I recommend Master and Commander.
(Hey Boji, Officer White is sure in charge of this one).

The damage has been done. There is now going to be hell to pay.

Saw it and liked it. Thought ol' what's-his-puss did a good job in the
role, too. I'd have to see it again to really rate it with a fair
accuracy, but I don't think it was a "dog".

Hehe, I've used that line once or twice myself.

But only if they're alone in the room... <g>

A change of identity is refreshing once in a while. I was actually going
to give "Sue Mi" a try <blush>, but figured it was too avante garde for a
tech group.

Time for an existentialist joke?

Q. What's the difference between an orange?
A. A football, because motorbikes don't have doors.

...or maybe it's a quantum joke...

Probably. She's a lot harder to shut up than to start in the talking
department.
