i'm marrying him for his money, not his grasp of metaphor

Don and I had the following conversation through email today while we were at work, proving YET AGAIN that neither classic metaphor nor, in fact, explaining things comprehensibly are his true forte:

Jamaila Cohen-Michaelson to Donald (3:01 PM)
why don't you go see if we can afford movable type to keep yourself busy...

Donald J. Brinkley to me (3:03 PM)
cause i don't feel like it...

i'm busy doing sudukos...


Jamaila Cohen-Michaelson to Donald (3:04 PM)
it's spelled sudOkU

Donald J. Brinkley to me (3:05 PM)
meh...it's all the same tomato tomato...

Jamaila Cohen-Michaelson to Donald (3:07 PM)
dude. when you say that you are supposed to spell the two tomatoes DIFFERENTLY. you can't say 'oh, you say tomato, i say tomato', it's tomato and tomatoe.

Donald J. Brinkley to me (3:08 PM)
meh it's the same...

Jamaila Cohen-Michaelson to Donald (3:09 PM)
ARGH no it isn't! that's the WHOLE POINT of the STUPID SAYING!

Donald J. Brinkley to me (3:10 PM)
no that's like saying...chair and door...are different...
