WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU CANCELED THE MEETING?!!

DID.

YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DID NOT.

I WOULD CERTAINLY REMEMBER IF YOU DID HERE ARE THE TEXT MESSAGES WHEN I TOLD YOU I CANCELED THE MEETING AND YOU CONFIRMED.

UH-OH. I SEEM TO HAVE TRIGGERED COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.

WHATEVER YOU SAY NEXT IS LIKELY TO BE AN ABSURDITY THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BE RIGHT WHEN YOU ARE WRONG.

I TOLD YOU FROGS DON'T HAVE HOOVES, BUT YOU INSISTED THEY DID! ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG!

WIN, YOU LIAR!

THIS SHOW NEVER GETS OLD.
