Y'know, it took me a long time to realize that people don't want an accurate answer to that question. It's just a gesture. The modern equivalent of bouncing up and down and saying "ook ook ook".
steve yr freaking hilarious. and correct. it's an accomidation. like talking about the weather. it's just talk. or as my generation prefers to call it... bullshitting.
Oh, I don't know. Sheer-tedium-wise, nothing beats a 7-year-old angling for extra time on his Game Cube. He's trying to phrase the question in such a way as to maximize the probability of a "yes". This requires a lot of brain power, which results in long pauses in the question. Of course, you already know the question and the answer but you have to hear him out, anyway. I goes something like this:
"Dad? Um... You know how I did extra homework last night? Well... I was thinking that... maybe... I could do something.... like... maybe..."
...and so on. Sometimes he forgets where he is and has to start over.
