While abroad and in a 'multicultural' environment, I've noticed some situations consisting of a peculiar style of 'conversation'. A person might have a series of questions. However, the next question is fired off (not necessarily to the same previously-questioned person) before a response is given to the first question.
This kind of time-division doesn't seem to work well in reality. Perhaps there is some truth in that Hitchhiker's quote:
If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.
nice thoughts, i like.
ReplyDeleteAlice probably just likes to ask, heaps of questions. And the answerers are too slow.
