To all of the philosophers out there...
What the hell is your response to situations such as the following:
Person: What are you studying?
You: Philosophy (naturally, you pause to see which of the standard reactions Person will give)
Person: Tell me some philosophy
You: uh... what?
This happened to me yet again today except that after my response person said "oh! I love philosophy! What do you think about God?!" To which I replied, "that's theology not philosophy" and he said "well, tell me some philosophy then" and i just stammered and said "well...uhm... i like socrates."
As a side note, Person (who's name is actually Ramone-- i think) then tried to prompt me by giving me some of his "philosophies" like, you get what you give....
BANG! That's me shooting myself in the forehead out of frustration!
