/ Hi! How are things going? \
| |
| (just fine, thank you...) Great! Say, |
| could I bother you for a question? |
| |
| (you just asked one...) Well, how about |
| one more? |
| |
| (one more than the first one?) Yes. |
| |
| (you already asked that...) [at this |
| point, Alphonso gets smart... ] May I |
| ask two questions, sir? |
| |
| (no.) May I ask ONE then? |
| |
| (nope...) Then may I ask, sir, how I |
| may ask you a question? |
| |
| (yes, you may.) Sir, how may I ask you |
| a question? |
| |
| (you must ask for retroactive question |
| asking privileges for |
| |
| the number of questions you have asked, |
| then ask for that |
| |
| number plus two, one for the current |
| question, and one for the |
| |
| next one) Sir, may I ask nine |
| questions? |
| |
\ (go right ahead...) /
