[[Chase Amante]]'s school still wants you to hear the test. It does not want you to live inside a bit. [[Calibration]] decides whether A&A is wit or a man who cannot be serious.

== Method ==
Agree with the literal frame, overplay it, move on. Do not argue the premise. Do not explain the joke.

== Failure mode ==
Amplifying into cruelty, or A&A on a serious bid ('are you actually married?'). Not every question is a shit test.
