Forgive me God, for I have....

Dear God, its confession time again.

One of my more harmless (or not) hobby/peeves is picking brains. Most of the times its harmless, just a curiosity to understand the thought process of others when they say one thing and mean another. I admit to doing my bit to play along, some times dropping the right questions at the right time, to sift away their false plots and decoys, so as to get to the meat of what they really want to say. But more often than not, my brain tends to use this knowledge and plant a few false trails of its own.... It tends to be a 'pay back' for their pathetic attempts to do the same to me of course, but that doesn't justify it.
Put me back in Coach, I'm ready to play. Even if the ref doesn't call it fair.
