I'd say that ChatGp is decidedly lacking in a sense of humor .

Nope. I will carry and cook my own food. I don't care what anyone else wants to carry and cook. I do my own stuff and I will not carry a blue barrel fir anyone.

I usually don't mention to my wife the cost of things and she says everything she buys is "on sale !". Yeah right. Larry S
