Dude, just honor my coupon!!

This is funny, tonight on my way to work I stopped to redeem one of these coupons and the guy behind the counter said “what’s that.”

“A coupon”

“For what”?

I’m thinking, wow, just like in the thread but no, once I explain it the guy was very enthusiastic and said he wanted some of that action and after I paid he went and pulled a couple of bags off the shelf.

Luckily that isn’t the store I usually buy them from. :slight_smile:

The punctuation is cummings, but I’d say the style is more Pound…

How do you feel about the punctuation police?

Or the Capitalization Cops?
The Grammar Guards?
How about the Sentance Structure Security Squad?
No? Well, nevermind then.

Now that everyone has remarked about my style, does anyone have a comment about the content?

Every coupon I was presented with got you money off.

Wait - do you mean that the dollar value of coupons redeemed by customers were taken from your paycheck?

(Directly taken from your paycheck, I mean - of course reduced revenue translates to reduced profit margin, etc.)

Edward Estlin Cummings (October 14, 1894 – September 3, 1962), abbreviated E. E. Cummings, was an American poet, painter, essayist, and playwright. His publishers and others have sometimes echoed the unconventional capitalization in his poetry by writing his name in lower case, as e. e. cummings; Cummings himself did not approve of this rendering. *

I was thinking more William Carlos Williams, myself.

Or at least the fascist undertones.
Though I’m guessing kayT was being sarcastic in that regard.

Sure, how about: what the fuck does any of this have to do with the smoking police?

Do NOT talk smack about Jersey poets.

[sub]Well, except for Joyce Kilmer. Say whatever you want about that guy. What a sap![/sub]

Joyce Kilmer…sap…You slay me! :smiley:

I’m amazed there wasn’t more spectacular movie carnage in this story.
