"slow" is never a word I would think to describe you because I always think of slow when applied to a person as a description of their mental capacity... and you my friend have one of the quickest and most entertaining and impressive mental wit I have ever had the pleasure of knowing(and especially not being in the firing path of!).

I'm fast when I'm coming up with stuff to be entertaining. But for actual problem-solving and such I feel like a tree sloth. Thanks for th ecompliment, though.
