Y singing: "Love is an open door...."
As snapping: "No it isn't!!"
The literal-minded don't get poetry.
Ads to me: How much do you love me?
Me: As much as the entire universe.

Me: Huh?? (standard reaction!)
Ads: You know Amma, Adolf Hitler is a great example of a person who persevered against all odds to realize his dream. He started his political party in 1918 but did not become Chancellor until 1933. He waited 15 years to get to where he wanted.

Ads (wisely): Yes, but no one will like to use it and say Hitler was really good at something.
