Can't have organic conversation any more, it's always bot posts. One trick to prove you're not a bot is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Not gonna lie, I read the last line of your post first to see if Mankind went though a table at the end.

It’s so nice not to see that trash everywhere now. I really though he was gonna fully retire it after he got mankind himself to do the bit but nope, kept doing it.

How does this find a bot? Do they just start in on a random onion story or something so you know they're just picking keywords to elaborate on?
