Guess I better not go to Williamsburg.
Poeser, schmoezer. Where's what's his name? Er, Hayme. "All that matters is you like the bike you ride!"
I was asked ONCE if I was a messenger. Once. Out of no where a messenger rides up and tells (very young and attractive young lady, holding puppy dog in her arms) her "yes, and he's got a message from God: "Shut the **** up and drive better.".
Having nothing to add to that, I smiled, and went on my way.
