Good point Jabez. I've been with H for so long and I know by his body language, tone of voice and choice of words what he's trying to convey. But I still shouldn't assume.
And just b/c I know H extremely well, that doesn't mean I can never misunderstand. Not to mention, that if he's going to insult me, then insult me dammit! Quit speaking in half sentences, yanno?? And if I have to drag out the other half of the sentence/insult, then I will
But again, you have an excellent point. Keep your cool. Make him speak in full sentences by asking him to clarify or finish his thought. Then be SILENT!! Right?
