Congratulations. You are the winner of the “totally oblivious to the point” award for January.
I know it’s only the the 4th, but the odds of anyone outdoing you are microscopic.
“Oh, really?”
Wow, but then you turn around and outdo yourself in the very next note.
But don’t worry, you have no competition. None at all.
