          It was a joke :) If it was perfectly camouflaged, I wouldn't have detected it. Lame, I know. Posted 4 years ago

                Ha! But, I am letting it go because I just realized that I didn't get the joke at all until 2 seconds ago when it finally hit me. So, since the joke was so pathetically bad, I am letting you win <3. Posted 4 years ago
