Yesterday, Hobbes said: “Hey, Thirdguy, aren’t you on Eastern time? It’s 3 o’clock in the morning there!”Yesterday, Wiseguy replied: “Hi Hobbes, If you were referring to me, I’m on Mountain time.”
Hi Wiseguy. Actually, I was referring to another guy, Thirdguy, who is in New England, and he was up at 3 am his time while I was up at 2 am my time and you were up at 1 am your time.But you were a victim of circumstances. Here is a simple explanation of what happened:Two guys posted nearly simultaneously at 3 am Eastern time, 1am Mountain time. Wiseguy was the first guy and Thirdguy was the second guy. I replied, first to the first guy,and then second to the second guy. Then the posting by the second guy (Thirdguy) was deleted, later confusing the first guy (Wiseguy) and making him think that, with my second reply, I had been replying to the first guy – that is, Wiseguy – when actually I had been replying to the second guy – that is, Thirdguy. So, naturally, the first guy, Wiseguy, assumed that I had accidentally typed the name of the second guy, Thirdguy, while intending to type the name of the first guy, Wiseguy, when, in fact, I had typed the name that I had intended, namely, Thirdguy, the second guy.The confusion is even more understandable, because Thirdguy is also a wise guy.And in the thread that Thirdguy started, I was the second guy and Wiseguy was the third guy, becauseThirdguy was the first guy.Here is a paraphrase of Thirdguy’s comment that was later deleted, referring to Calvin shooting darts at Rosalyn: “You know what they say, whatever doesn’t kill you, can really tick you off !”Even at 3 o’clock in the morning, Thirdguy can be a very funny Guy.Don’t know who deleted his comment at GoComics. Probably some wise guy.
