Summary: "Do you know what you're doing?"


"Do you know what you're doing?"

"No, I don't. But I have a general idea, and that's certainly better than nothing. At any rate, it helps a bit."

"How are you drawing that distinction?"

"I wouldn't call it along the same lines as, say, trying to tell diamonds from zircon. It's a bit more like comparing compound chocolate to the genuine article."

"I really don't think that analogy is doing either of us any good."

"For that matter, neither do I. Never mind analogies, then; just cross your fingers and hope for the best."

"I'll try."

"That's better than nothing."

Hee, banter without context! I get the feeling the first speaker is a Long Sufferer.

Lol! You might have a point, there; I didn't think about that, but that does sound about right. :D
