Sometimes getting information from a person is like getting "blood out of a stone". Just another cliché for you to enjoy. Now we all know that stones do not contain blood vessels. Well at least *I* think that but other people may differ and that is their right. Some people have different beliefs to my norm and that is also their right.

A "word" out of context means nothing. I forgot to mention perjury which is a lie under oath. I also forgot to mention misleading which is not a lie but does not tell the whole truth as certain advertisements would have the public believe.

PressF1 is a computer help forum.
In the event I see a post that says," My computer is broken!" should I immediately assume the said equipment fell on the floor, tossed out a window or was attacked with a hammer? Should I think that the said computer did the suicide thing because it did not feel happy running any version of Windows?

"Blood out of a stone?" I like the one, similar, that says, "It's like pulling teeth."

You could go on forever speaking of the vagaries of the english language. That is what makes it so interesting.
