Two dumb engineers...ONLINE

(after I made a Hades-deserving comment)

skyknight I: ...
SenorPapaBear: am I going to hell?
skyknight I: what on earth for?
SenorPapaBear: NOTHING!
skyknight I: well
skyknight I: let's see
skyknight I: are you in a handbasket?
SenorPapaBear: Possibly, I can't tell
skyknight I: everyone knows that things go to hell in handbaskets
SenorPapaBear: hmm, good point
skyknight I: so all you have to do is determine wheteher or not
skyknight I: you are in a handbasket
SenorPapaBear: It'll take a bit before I figure that out
skyknight I: is the texture of the immediate vicinity wicker-like?
skyknight I: or woven
SenorPapaBear: I do have an inordinate number of splinters...
skyknight I: hmmm
skyknight I: is there a noticable periodic motion
SenorPapaBear: Well, when I look up I see that I'm being carried by a bosomed woman
skyknight I: ok ok
skyknight I: this is important
skyknight I: tell me
skyknight I: is there a red and white checked cloth in the basket?
SenorPapaBear: Oh my God, I'm in a handbasket, aren't I?
skyknight I: no
skyknight I: no
skyknight I: wait
skyknight I: is there a cloth
SenorPapaBear: I see checkers
skyknight I: ok
skyknight I: good
skyknight I: don't worry
skyknight I: you're in a picnic basket
SenorPapaBear: *whew*
skyknight I: it's safe
