I remember you, you're that statuesque 30-something Grace Kelly lookalike with oodles of money and the IQ of Stephen Hawkins.
That's what I heard anyway ...

Now did you know that it has been researched that reiterating a phrase in the negative subliminally reinforces the thought that the item is positive (by means of repetition, not by  means of suspicion)?   "I did not have sex with that woman" repeated many times strongly reinforces a lasting impression to the contrary, even if the audience knows no other facts about the case.  (The  most uninformed audience will recant: "Oh, yeah ... he had sex with that woman, didn't he ... ?" People only remember the *issue* not the *negation*.)
