Demetrius Church · Answer 1

Do you really think that's a good strategy?

Explanation:

I would ask him this question with a rhetorical tone, because obviously this way of opening conversations is not always good, there's a lot of people that are too serious, jokes for them are disrespectful. Even more, if years pass and he get into a higher society level, this kind of jokes could be seen as immature.

Answer:what if this stop happening in the future because for now it works it doesn't prove that it will keep working and if doesn't prove that it what will fundamental work on everyone or at all times and also how can he be sure that this will work on everyone because people have different attitude towards jokes.
