Oh! Now that's a different way of looking at it! Hmmm. But wouldn't, kind sir, that lead one to conclude the contrary?

Quite, quite! Ha! I must laugh a bit at myself, for, as you've pointed out, it seems I misspoke! In my zeal to appear a wit (an aspiration that I fear a bit too far reaching!) I "left the potato and brought but the skin" so-to-speak.

Oh no, no! I certainly didn't mean to imply anything more than that I disagreed with your premise. I find you to be charming and every bit the very model of wit.

Oh, you flatter me, sir! I suppose this would lead us to conclude that, at best, we "agree to disagree", eh?

Indeed.

Have a lovely evening!

And you as well, sir!
