+Bob only ever answers one of five things:
 
-He answers 'Whoa, chill out!' if you YELL AT HIM (in all capitals).
-
-He answers 'Calm down, I know what I'm doing!' if you yell a question at him.
-
-He says 'Fine. Be that way!' if you address him without actually saying
-anything.
-
-He answers 'Whatever.' to anything else.
-
-Bob's conversational partner is a purist when it comes to written communication and always follows normal rules regarding sentence punctuation in English.
