Lynne,



We are definitely going to use your message in semantics/pragmatics classes

to determine if most people believe -



a) you have never shot up anywhere,

b) related possibilities:

1) you have shot up (probably in England),

2) you have shot up (anywhere outside America), or

c) you were fully aware of the ambiguity of a) and b) and did it jokingly



Of course, we will not use your name. Who knows how long the arm of the

narcs is?



Dennis
