There is a logical back story behind the first tweet. I could explain but then it would not be so funny.

Can someone say something nice about me so I can retweet it and then puff myself up with self importance?

These responses are what happens when I ask the question: "Can someone say something nice about me so I can retweet it and then puff myself up with self importance?"
I must have the most amusing stream in all of Twitter.
