Getting to know you!

I was asked to write another space filling article for another thing. Struggling to come up with an idea, I consulted another classmate. We had a laugh and managed to punch out something that we thought was witty. Unfortunately, our most innuendo laden pun failed to hit the mark so was cut. Probably because we were entering that unfortunate stage of delirium one enters with too much time on one task when we wrote it. So I present to you some of the surviving bits. A big thankyou to my esteemed colleague (to borrow a phrase) who co-wrote and co-procrastinated it to pseudo-success.
