"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I still use semi-colons regularly.
But I'm also put to mind of a stand-up bit from the 60s where one guy is describing his week, and the other guy has a verbal tic of punctuating aloud the first guy's description, and all the jokes are built on that conceit.
Like...
"I couldn't see my girlfriend that week because it was her time of the month."
"Period."
Anyway, the best joke was...
"So the doctor said that I had to have part of my lower intestine removed."
"Semi-colon."

Also, I guess that guy has a follow up in WaPo but I let that subscription lapse. I was curious if he was one of the people that recently quit and it looks like not; he got promoted to replace on of them it seems

From my onerous to-do list, I have:
Made 8 PT appointments for my defiant bad hip
Made a mammogram appointment
Made a colonoscopy appointment
Followed up with PCP about Zepbound
My PCP sent over the Rx for Zepbound, so now I need to wrangle that.
