I'm still puzzling over the ****ometer.
Does it mean that I don't give a **** if
it's Zero, or does that mean I really care?
OTOH, could it be that at full scale,
5000 is the ultimate in DontGiveA****?
Currently that meter is reading nothing,
so does that mean,if the former is true,
that Rob don't give a ****, or does it
mean the meter isn't hooked up?
More information is required, I'm afraid.
It's only puzzling for people who think "I could care less" is an
effective expression of their indifference. If one recognizes that the
only proper such expression is "I couldn't care less" than the
****ometer is perfeclty understandable.
I only asked Rob to modify it so I could use my own pet phrase which
posits that the instrument has yet to be devised which could measure
my indifference. In other words, I couldn't care less.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't
