Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I should introduce her to the cricket I just accidentally killed. Maybe they can compare notes.
(In my defense, I was trying to get it out of the sink and the water was already going by the time I saw it. I did stop the kittenish from attacking with my clever use of a bit of turkey. Pretty much just means I wasted the protein since the big died anyway. I really wasn't trying to kill it even after it startled the yelp out of me.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I was a forceps delivery, and it almost took my eye out. This was 1972, and my doc was called off the golf course to come in and deliver, and he was LOADED. The nurses kept the doc from doing too much, and I was ok.
Ah, the halcyon days before malpractice suits.

So, you're all, like, Grammar people, right?. And I was wondering what you, like, thought of the idea that "like" and "um", in, like, the way people talk, are, um, like, interjections?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Interjections inspired one of the best Schoolhouse Rock songs....

What is even happening?
Interjections show excitement or emotion,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I just realized today, though, that "well" is often an interjection.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
They're usually followed by an exclamation point, or by a comma if the feeling's not as strong.
