Ya may run into a friend you didn't think you had; ya may make someone mad; ya may get away with it sneaky-like; someone will probably notice. I Find it easier in posts (like, on the Vintage BasebALL CARD fORUM--The owner is a REALLY NASTY Texan!--I always work a quote into my posts somehiow, and some of the guys have caught on, and like it...woe to me if Leon ever finds out...
Since I don;'t talk muvh like Annie Proulx writes, or liike the guys in the movie talk, the conversation quotes are few and far between.

After 6 hours of working with Microsoft and Comcast to clean out the rusty innards of
my computer, I said both "I could, if I had three hands," and "It ain't right!"
4 hours earlier, I had said, of the same manouver, when she asked me how I did it, "Like Rosemary with the peddle" (you have to have been around for Nixn for that one!)
