You mean ...

My Girl Friend and my blow-up have the same interface. But somehow my GF is harder to please. It must be a GF manufacturing issue. But you cant't look at her, cos she's mine. So here's a picture of her covered with a sheet, and my blowup. Please agree with me. In the mean time, I'm going to try somebody else's GF to prove that it is indeed a factory fault.

He asked a yes or no question, so I responded "No." without any further detail. I think everyone should stop explaining and just say "yes" or "no" or "why" to his questions (single word answers) to see if he gets the point or not.

Not that I could watch it. Just saw the news articles about it. But still, she should have at least invited some unknown American whom she's never heard of. @=)
