LAWL. Didn't he learn that a key component to human interaction is learning to express himself or whatnot? That's why he calls Sakura ugly, Chouji a fatass and tells Naruto he has a small penis? I think it's all so hysterical; I really love Sai, now that I think about it.

I love the idea of Sai learning things through the books he reads - I need to read more fic about that. It would be so adorable.
