    At last year's village fair, there was a stall called "Jennies Jewelry."
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    How many people reading this will think asbokid was posting seriously and the posts above are correcting him?
    How many will think he was taking the mick and the posts above have mistakenly taken him seriously?
    How many will think asbokid was taking the mick and the other posters knew he was and were pretending to take him seriously?
