Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[Butterfly88]

Don't you think apple pie tastes better?

 

[tree]

Better than what?

 

[Fridgemagnetman]

What does what taste like?

 

[Butterfly88]

Weren't we discussing chess and apple pies?

 

[tree]

What would a vegan use instead of butter, in a Chess pie?

 

[Thinx]

Might they use onyx chess pieces?

 

[tree]

Hasn't anybody else here actually ever heard of Chess Pie?

 

[Thinx]

Now I have; what is it?

 

[tree]

Are you trying to trick me into answering
with an answer, instead of a question?

 

[Butterfly88]

Why would Thinx do that?

 

[Thinx]

Can't you tell me what it is in the form of a question?

 

[tree]

Do you want to know what it's made out of?

 

[Butterfly88]

Isn't it obvious Thinx wants to know?

 

[tree]

So, should I make a list of ingredients?

 

[Butterfly88]

Could you please?

 

[tree]

Can you imagine a 4 egg custard made with only
a quarter cup of milk, some sugar to sweeten it,
thickened with a couple tablespoons of cornmeal,
and the novel rich element of a half cup of butter
or some kind of oleo aka margarine?

 

[Thinx]

It sounds nice; why is it called a pie instead of a pudding or custard I wonder?

 

[Fridgemagnetman]

Excuse my spelling but where are you going?

 

[Thinx]

Are you asking where the last question was going or where I am going today, or is it more existential as in, where is my life journey leading?

 

[Butterfly88]

Why, do you want to come with me wherever I am going?
