    Yeah, more like:

    • MapleEngineer - “I need to drive a nail into this piece of wood.”
    • Rocket - “Here is a hammer. It is well suited to the task.”
    • MapleEngineer - “No thanks. I tried a using a hammer to insert a screw last time and it didn’t work. Not only did it not work, but I hit my thumb and ended up in the hospital.”
    • Rocket - “Maybe it is not a nail that you need to drive, but to fasten the wood? A staple gun might be the ticket.”
    • MapleEngineer – “Buddy of a friend of a pal’s wife was bludgeoned to death by a hammer. There is no room for discussion if you are going to be so absurd.”

        Oh yeah, I forgot to add that at the end of every other reply. Sorry about the oversight.

        Anyway, if you want a demonstration of absurd, this is what has become absurd. Back to the actual topic of conversation. I believe we have some outstanding questions.

        I’m especially interested to learn which election Harper lost after having won one. Trying to wrap my head around your interesting mind further, it dawned on me that maybe you were trying to say that he was Prime Minister and then he lost that position. The trouble with that theory is that the Prime Minister is not elected in the Canadian federal election. It is an appointed position.
