Of course I knew that, ........Babel Fish malfunction!

But, if the topic is "off-topic", then we can't really post, because that would mean we're on-topic, as we're discussing off-topic.
So that would make us in violation of the "off-topic" predicament, as we're off-topic on-topic. So we're off topic again.
But then again, if we're discussing "off-topic" off-topic, does that make it a double negative, meaning that we're on-topic?
'Coz if it is, then we're on topic again, which means we can't post, as we're supposed to be off-topic...

I think the correct answer is " Snap, Crackle and Pop! "

Immunity to Forums?

A conundrum indeed.

The answer lies at the bottom a second bottle of Red Wine.

OK, I may have missed some Monty Python, due to age, but this I do know....

ABRAHAM
Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

SAMPSON
I do bite my thumb, sir.

ABRAHAM
Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

SAMPSON
[Aside to GREGORY] Is the law of our side, if I say
ay?

GREGORY
No.

SAMPSON
No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I
bite my thumb, sir. (1.1.49-50)

Just before 1972 I think!

But surely that's derived from "Romeo and Juliet" >> I studied that Shakespeare effort for "O" Level and distinctly minty recall the "Do You Bite Your Thumb At Me Sir?" gig and the response "Nay, But I Bite My Thumb"

Edit: Yup. Act 1, Scene 1! (Albeit my quote was not as precise as thine)

I hated Skakespeare with a vengeance. Why couldn't he just write stuff in English?

That was how I remembered it from when I learnt it ( also a few years ago! ), but I guess the current websites couldn´t get that wrong!

But my version was " Nay,I bite my thumb Sir"

Either way, R&J
