Sitting ovation as I am busy eating my Candy for Breakfast. May I add a few more, as you got all these right? The obligatory encore. OK tge show was good, why do we need to always ask for more? Let the performer go home, and then the audience can also go home. You’ve had enough cake. No one needs to cut up a new cake. Enjoy what you had and go home.
Now if the show is not good, use my convenient Sandwich Rule. If the mere thought if having a sandwich ( you can substitute a slice if pizza ir hot fudge sundae) is better than the boring crap you are watching, then pull the goalie, and you invoke the Sandwich Rule. Leave now. Why wait? Leave now and go get yourself that sandwich.
Thanks for your tasty laughs this morning.
The more I read, the less I write. I am invoking the “I just ate my Candy For Breakfast ( Mini- Wheats) and can now make coffee and toast.
On the same hate thing as not using the turn signal. Here in the UK I hate lane hoggers. On a three lane motorway (highway if you’re in the US), the two outer lanes are for overtaking, not pootling along as if you don’t have a care in the world and annoying other road users.
Whew. When I first saw the headline on your Candy for Breakfast email, I was concerned that one of the things you hate might be your Mother-in-Law. I definitely agree with your regarding people who don’t use turn signals.
At the risk of sounding both old (true) and anti-gay (false); I'm really done with referring to someone of undisclosed gender as "they". "They" is a plural; a person (other than maybe someone with multiple personality disorder) is not. I'm hoping this is one of those trends that dies from its own overuse...we'll see. Less confusion in expression would help us all get along better, no?
Nuts. Now I've gotten started, I have to throw in one more. Plurals end in a "s". No apostrophe. The apostrophe only indicates a possessive - that's it. It's "families" not "family's" or "Yankees" not "Yankee's". Most often I see this with journalists, and really, how did you get an English major with that kind of writing? And how are you a journalist if you don't have a background in English?

As always, a fun read - thanks!
+1 for no turn signal. Seriously...
