Socrates was a Smart Ass

This is according to Ponzi. She forwarded a PayPal hoax to me this morning, asking if it was spam. I responded: “Who is the message from?” She came back with: “I don't know. I thought it was spam, I wanted you to look at it and tell me.” I walked over to her computer and asked her to show me what she did. She clicked on a link to confirm the sender, but I told her never (EVER) click these links unless you know they're legit messages / transactions. The discussion continued:

Ponzi: “Yeah, but it fooled you, too.”
Chris: “No, it didn't.”
Ponzi: “Yes, it did – you even asked me who it was from.”
Chris: “I was answering the question with a question.”
Ponzi: “That's just stupid.”
Chris: “No, it's the Socratic method.”
Ponzi: “No, it was you being a smart ass.”

Therefore, by my logic, Ponzi is calling Socrates a smart ass. How many classic philosophers have you offended today?
