Show us your data.

That is not data.

Joey removed the context so he could get in a jab. I reinserted it.

Show us what you are talking about, Joey. Prove to everyone that I am lying.

Okay, Joey. Show us how they are relavent.

No, Child. When I use the word “child” it is code for, “Quit acting like a spoiled brat,” Child.
