It is impossible to think a person would say something utterly ridiculous to get what they want, when they know it is utterly ridiculous.

That's like some one asking you if you will fix them a glass of tea, and you say sure I'll make you a glass of tea if you leave it for me.

Or walking up to a dinning table and asking the person would you like a glass of salt water.

To say such ridiculous things out in the open deliberate could only mean....

They really are that ridiculous.

And that is worse than if they were just that desperate.

They have talked such bent, twisted, false, hodgepodge, slick willy words...they think this way normally in all things.

And they just keep descending further and further down into the the fools folly.
