Cute, Atticus, very cute.
You tart response reminds me of an anecdote from my days as a deacon in my local church. We had just received a new priest fresh off the proverbial boat from Ireland. Prior to presiding over his first mass he graciously asked one of the young alter boys to fetch him a pitcher of water and glass and place them on the pulpit.
During the course of the mass he would pause from time to time to take large gulps of water from the glass and then periodically refill it from the pitcher and coincident with the conclusion of his rather long winded homily he did finish off the pitcher.
After the mass, on the steps of the cathedral, an older lady who just happened to be from the same county in Ireland as the new priest, went up to him and forthrightly blurted out,
"My dear young Father, its a miracle!!! You are certainly the only windmill in the history of our Lord that is hydro-powered"
Verily, I put it to you my dear Atticus, do you drink a lot of water?
