No no no no no. Pro **state**. Pro_state_. Prostate. Pro_ **state** _. Please repeat: _The kindly gentleman was found lying prostrate on the sofa awaiting his beloved prostate exam._ Now let’s try this one: _The man was distraught when he heard that his beloved heroine overdosed on heroin._ I don’t know if this is “rant-y” enough, but I think that the fact that I was _once again_ rendered _completely apoplectic_ by this stupidstupidstupidfucking mistake would suffice for me putting this here. Thanks for your time. Love, Kneepants. ---

I’m for state’s rights on most topics. Does that make me pro-state? Tripler I’ll recline for my answer, thanks. ---
