No, all I said was it's not part of *my* imagination -- after all, it's a
product of *yours*.  That's all it is -- a figment of your imagination.
I've been informed of that a lot longer than you've been aware of anything.

I don't know -- why *do* you clutter up State College, anyway?

(DOI isn't informed of anything, for the simple fact that it doesn't exist.
If it did, and was so omniscient, you'd know what I was talking about by
mentioning that particular intersection.)

...which shows how much the non-existent DOI knows.  (Hint:  the jail's
downtown.  I'm not.)

No, actually, you require the helping hand of Jeff Dahmer.  (He'll provide
the A-1 Sauce and the cutlery, of course. :)

Dig 'em up yourself.  I told you when I took it, and what high school I went
to -- how much more do you need to find it?

Like I said, it's DOA -- it never existed.  Thanks for agreeing with me.

I guess that's why I've got a job and you don't...:-)
