Context is everything

Conversation:

"I mean, what kind of person are you if you HAVEN'T done drugs?"
"Right! ...So what does that make me?"
"Well, have you gone out of your way to not take drugs?"
"No."
"That's okay then."

...
"No I totally DID go to a strip club! They took their clothes off and everything!"

Possibly not the kind of earnestly defensive protestation most men make to their wives...

OK, curious now. I am the kind of person who has gone out of my way to not take drugs - what does that make me? or, as stv frequently says, not that it's actually anything I ever said to a student - CONTEXT!
