‘So, what you are saying is that you're smarter than those... other, stupider geniuses?!?’

‘Genii.’

‘What?’

‘Genii, John. The plural of genius is genii.’

[incredulous pause]

‘You're purposely avoiding my question.’

‘More stupid.’

‘I give up.’

‘There is no such word as 'stupider'.’

[Doctor puts on coat.]

‘I'm going to Sarah's.’

[Door slams. Detective smiles.]

HAHA!

I am laughing out loud.

Again.

And I never say that I'm laughing out loud unless I am, in fact, laughing out loud.

(I also never say "lol" but that has nothing to do with veracity and everything to do the fact that it is spelled "lol.")

Thank you for the 'stupider geniuses' line! You realise you are enabling my 'crack' habit?

I feel as if a 7% solution joke is requisite, but can't come up with one.

That's right, Dr. Watson. Walk away. You can't win when the game is 'Provoke John'.

It's the little victories in life. :)

Ha ha!
Soon, Dr Watson, you will learn to realise that when Sherlock wants the flat to himself, you may as well leave before he does something really obnoxious!
