i tried that once in a Dokusan room (interview room) with a Roshi (Zen priest) and was promptly given ding-a-ding-ding (the bell meaning stop talking, make your bows and leave, go back to your cushion and sit Zazen).

good try, nonetheless. 😉 

 😀 

 there's a better way to say that if i take your meaning, see my 3 liner; i suspect you will get the point  

 I dont believe you 

 i am a family member of the most common & widespread species of primate, & the last surviving species of the genus: homo. 

this means i'm a great ape, which pleases me deeply, & according to other great apes this also means i'm characterized by my hairlessness, bipedalism, & high intelligence,  

& while i'm not so sure about all that but it's fine, 

on a personal level, 

i'd like to think im a good ape, too, in a general sense at least,

which has nothing to do with my primary physical characteristics & more has to do with listening to the song in my heart.
