Oh, and it’s “decency” and “monetary”.

Yeah & while we’re on the subject, the next sorry-ass punk who uses “your” where s/he should use “you’re” (or vice-versa) or “it’s” where s/he should use “its” (or vice-versa) will have his/her eyeballs removed with the rustiest grapefruit spoon I can find…goddamn apostrophes…

That should read “Yeah, and while we’re on the subject…” _Yeah_ is being used as an interjection and must be followed either by a comma or an exclamation point. 😉

I stand corrected…sorry 'bout that. I never said my own grammer was perfect, I just said I can’t stand the misuse of apostrophes.

The offer of eyeball removal still stands, though.

I just read my last post & am off to slit my own throat & pour in molten lead.

I typed “grammer” for “grammar”. I swear before Jesus & all the saints that it was a typo & I do NOT believe that “grammer” is the correct spelling.

That’s okay. Everyone here know that “grammer,” is your parents’ mothers.

I really wanted to post something here, but I’m still laughing my ass off.

BTW, Does anyone else here use Fuck O/S? It’s much better than Windoes. 😉

I always thought “Franco-Amnesia Forgetti-Os” would’ve made a better name. (And I’m surprised the Topps “Wacky Packages” people never came up with it.)

Thank you, my loyal fans.

I thought that particular joke up when I was 8 years old, and have been waiting for the world to behold the genius of it ever since. 😉

Are they the same ones who make the mushroom-flavored “Fungy-Os” brand cereal, aka “The Breakfast of Champignons”?
