But the lay off was only for “slightly more than a day”. So he don’t because the betters don’t. ---

> [@Drunky\_Smurf](#): > > But the lay off was only for “slightly more than a day”. So he don’t because the betters don’t. The definitions in use here for “slightly”, “more”, “than”, “a”, and “day” still require some clarification. I still wish my own gibberish was so poetic. ---

> [@Drunky\_Smurf](#): > > But the lay off was only for “slightly more than a day”. So he don’t because the betters don’t. I work (sometimes) with a comic. You and he understand. If I never hear an old lady moan, “I’m on a fixed income,” I will scream, “Bitch, I wish I was on a fixed income, but not anymore, so I’m stuck calling you and your brethren until I die.” I hope to go to Heaven because the past few months have been Hell. Boss keeps suggesting Family Leave,but it won’t buy groceries. ---

I understand completely, and happily dismiss them as “too expensive” with only an indifferent rebuttal. The latter is my job. The former is my state. ☹ ---
