Meh, who cares what David says? What I love about them, is that can express so much, so succinctly, that it might take a whole bunch of boring ol' words forever to say.
That's more true in real life, though. I love saving time and having fun by using facial expressions to convey things, instead of bunches of words. I hate when people talk on and on, with no jokes and no expressions, telling long stories.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................
