Last night on Larry King Live Eric Massa was asked if he was gay. He responded "Why don't you ask my wife, ask my friends, ask the 10,000 sailors I served with in the Navy." So you know, I figured Grumbler might be one of those sailors. So is he gay?
:XD:

Wasn't one of the Ten Thousand, sorry.
Why not ask razgovery? He might be one of Massa's friends.
He might be an imaginary friend, by Massa needs every friend he can get.
Worth a try.

I'll ask Raz but he doesn't always respond to me.
I approve of this thread. :D

Sounds like a "yes" to me.
:lmfao: That's quite a quote.
Cue chorus:

Come on people and make a stand

If you are ever asked a "yes" or "no" question, and you refuse to give a "yes" or "no" answer, it's because you are afraid to tell the truth, but don't want to be on the record as lying. I'm pretty sure Mark Sanford and John Edwards answered questions this way when they were questioned about their own sex scandals.

Sometimes I deliberately not say either "yes" or "no", even when I could just go ahead and do so without lying or implicating myself. I'm doing it exactly to thwart such reasoning, to be able to give a non-answer without actually giving away my answer. I've been doing that ever since I was little.

Also, sometimes you can answer the question without actually using the word "yes" or "no." So by "ask my wife" he could have meant "No. I'm married, duh :rolleyes:." OTOH, "ask the 10,000 sailors I served with in the Navy" does sound a bit fruity, so perhaps his answer was an evasion.
Edit- as apparently he is a politician, I think the weasel interpretation is better.
