Not so good at paying attention, are you? I never laid any blame for 
circumstances beyond one's control.

Next you'll be accusing me of failure of Armageddon day comes.

That's because Ross doesn't know which end of his body he's talking from at any 
given time.

Ahh yes.. This old line. Sorry, but unlike the Three Stooges, I don't have to 
get hit in the face with a rake a dozen times to learn not to put my foot down 
there. I learn quickly. Is this concept lost on you? It didn't take me three 
decades to learn how to create a stable system on which others can rely, most 
of it involves common sense.

Oh yes, that's right, you're older, therefore you know infinitely more than I, 
and I have no ocmmon sense to speak of. I keep forgetting.

Mostly because they're totally nonsensical, not to mention all over the place.

I'm still struggling to determine what position, exactly, he's trying to argue.
