Q: Why do you hate (J)arvis Hayes so much?
A: What the hell are you talking about? Are you an idiot? Isn't it perfectly obvious that I regard (J)arvis Hayes as the best and most underappreciated professional basketball player on the planet?

Isn't it obvious?

Q: Why is every statement of yours suffused with bitter irony?
