[jackspratt]

Oh, that's OK. I have a brain bigger than Jack Spratt's and Uncle T's combined,........

With that sort of handicap, I am surprised you have survived so long. I barely have, and that is only because I get a monthly top-up via telepathy from Uncle T.

[Earnest]

I must admit there have been some close calls; I was nearly decapitated by a train's doors on the London Underground once...I was in a hurry but not to meet my maker.

[Laan Yaa Mo]

It's baseball that has kept me going this long. Telepathy is old school. I have to upgrade my communication skills to something more effective or we both will be in deep doodoo, Mr. Jack.
