But I do like frog legs, though it has been many years since I cooked any.

And I have long used that line from a 'Married With Children' episode (uttered by a jaded director while ending a commercial shoot featuring Kelly) as an indication I have done all the slicing I wish to do in a dispute here. I almost never go back to one once I have posted that up.

Here, of course, it was just for fun.
