Monday Panzerism

 Panzer on imparting information:

 

Here's a riddle:

Do you know why cats don't talk?

 

Answer:

You wouldn't like what we'd say.

Expect something different, did you?*

 

You'd expect us to say things like:

"Dinner please" and "Thank you for dinner."

 

Cats don't think like that.

Come on. "Give it to me. It's MINE!"
