You could be right... *racks brains*
I can't think of a Dave I didn't like.

Hang on! Got it. Dave Raddon, he was a truck driver who's wages I used to pay. Probably one of the thickest men that has ever existed, or ever will exist.

The other six Daves I know are all fine.

Thickness on its own
doesn't make someone objectionable though. One of my old schoolmates was thick as pigshit, but a right decent sort of bloke. It's just the thick, ignorant, boorish types whom I would cheerfully have eliminated from existence.

Occasionally you'll meet people who compensate for a lack of brains by being a decent bloke...
...this Dave was the exception to that rule.

He bought himself a Ford Probe.

What a piece of work is a Dave
how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties; in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a God!

My mate Dave is a convicted arsonist and full-time cocaine dealer.
I still think he's a nice chap though.
