** {{quote|'''Bob:'' Okay. I want you to listen very carefully and tell me if I've got this right. You're angry about what you think I said about what you said about what you thought I said (but we now both agree I didn't say) about what you thought I thought you thought about what I did when you did what you did when I didn't do what you thought I said I would do but what I thought I said I would try to do, is that right? Alice: Yes. Bob: Yeah I thought so. Well I didn't say that. Alice: Yes you did! You said you couldn't believe I said what I said about what I thought you said (but which we do agree you didn't say) because you thought I said I said what I said not because you didn't do what you said you'd do but because you said you'd do it, and that makes me feel that you feel that I feel that you don't feel what I feel. Bob: You know I feel you feel I feel what you feel. Alice: Yes but I don't feel you know I know that and that's why I said what I said. Bob: What did you say? Alice: That sometimes, I think you're a little over-analytical-- Bob: Bollocks.
