I'm not a "random" person -- reminds me of my boss at the Pentagon who made me make a mistake by distracting me back in the days before computers when typing was a typewriter and carbon paper and we weren't allowed to make mistakes (the letter was going to Congress) so had to type the dang thing perfectly. I ripped the mess out of the typewriter, balled it up and threw it at him (missed and it bounced off a doorjam and hit the "lead"/head secretary, fortunately someone my own age :-) and yelled at him to "quit yakking at me!" He replied as he was exiting rapidly "I'm not a yak!. . ."/"I'm a baby llama" -- and was gone out the door while I'm falling out of my chair groaning and laughing at the bad joke.
