Then her final answer is to ,"go ask your father", if you know what I mean

Only ask questions when there is nobody else around, that way you get the answers that you want!

..... If you know what I mean!

I can resist anything but temptation if you know what I mean...

I love pleasure, not too keen on pain, I pursue the Missus....

I guess you're right...

I could never accept modern social standards, way too low these days...

Edward, Edward, Edward...you truly do march to the beat of your own drum...if you know what I mean.

And there's nothing wrong with my standards - compared to the group of stoned, drunk natives cavorting naked and lasciviously with each other across my street.

Oh, I was speaking generally of course. Many people have high standards as individuals and I was referring to the fact that overall standards have slipped to the point that morality, ie: honesty, integrity, respect for the opposite sex, appreciation of good language, dress, etc. is seemingly the exception rather than the norm if you know what I mean.
