You may see we can do a fun bit. A kid or a man can do it, but a dog or cat can not.  
My car is red. It is a van. It has a big bin for my kit. I can use a wee bit of gas to go far. It is the way to go.  
We can jam out now if you see fit.

I do not see how it can be fun to use not big. Why did you ask for it? I say, “No way!” If you see me do it, I did err, and did not do it for you.

\<I will post out of character to ask about rules, alternate spellings (cuz) ok? How about TLA, three letter acronyms, that opens it up a lot, is the use of an initialism OK?\>
