Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This morning in our male only discussion group of about 30 seniors where we discuss a big array of interesting subjects, the modurator said: all of you are more than invited to join us for lunch and the same restaurant we often go on occasion But this time he said i More Than Welcome you all to join us…Wouldnt a you querry the difference in the intent of welcimg you and more than welcoming you to our luncheon
.

I thought to myself what if had said I welcome all of you folks to join at Marie Calindors’ restarant would have been sufficient welcoming. Now when he states wen he says you are MORE than welldomeomvrall more than welcome tojoin us at the restaurant

Voiceover: Steve Pleasance. Toastmaster. After an horrific accident caused by a faulty gavel, a man barely alive. Gentlemen: we can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was before: stronger, faster and much, much more fun at parties. We have the technology to exponentially enhance his already considerable social skills. Where other men strain to be grateful, he will be “more than grateful.” In a world bereft of people who are happy to help, he will be “more than happy” to lend a hand. At a time when people long merely to be accepted, he will have the ability to make them feel up to ten times more than welcome. Gentlemen, he will be the (theme music swells) Six Million Dollar Host!

(Cut to clip from Episode One: Salad Bar Sinister):

Joe Sidekick: Steve, that madman was about to close the all-you-can-eat salad bar an hour early! How did you stop him?

Steve Pleasance: Simple. I explained to him that I was *more than willing * to listen to his problems, that we’d all be more than glad to help out all we could, and that he was more than welcome to join us. This overwhelmed his sympathetic nervous system, and his brain exploded.

Joe: Wow, it sure did. All over the endive. 'Course, no one’s gonna want any more salad now, but you did the right thing.

Steve: I’m happy to be of service.

Joe: Just happy?

Steve: Yes.

Joe: Oh. (End clip)
