Talking to a Potato

Talking to a potato is a skill that requires extreme patience. Today I've managed to control myself for 2.5hrs, wasting my precious time talking to a potato.

Characteristics of a potato

1. Tries to speak fast
2. Tends to stammer
3. Tends to talk in loops. ie self-repeating cassette
4. Unable to answer simple questions
5. Unable to communicate ideas across
6. Unable to understand simple points even after rephrasing it a dozen times, oh I tried Chinese too!!
7. Strongly resembles talking to a wall.

My personal recommendations, asks few and very simple questions. Don't expect full solutions, figure out alternatives first.

To prevent permanent brain trauma, avoid having conversations longer than 1hr.
