Quote:I know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed.  I can't help you there.  But, since I actually know the people involved in this discussion, and I know for a fact what the motivation was for him taking the job, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it, unless of course you'd like to try to ask Vic for yourself. 

 

It doesn't actually matter, you see.  The only problem is that you took your tool out of the shed and waved it around.

It wasn't the fact or non-fact of a pension, it was your statement that you had "confirmed " the issue.  Ya didn't.

Or do you believe that saying, "you'll just have to take my word for it" = "confirmation beyond any shadow of a doubt"? 

When you use imprecise language, you only confuse yourself and others.
