I was asked by a young man in AU.  As I said to him, you can use this 
to hang me.  He asked, I didn't volunteer.

No, you shouldn't care.  No one asked you to hold your cunning lingual.

Yes, as I said, I was asked by someone.  I didn't volunteer and knew

never mentioned my resume, only when asked.

Like I said I was asked for my resume.
Toy room.  My kid has one.

Now, can I get off of the list there moderator?
