"In YOUR utterance you used FOUR exclamation points! And according to the Exclamation Use Tax law those cost us $10 EACH!". As calmly as she could, Julie said, "Theodore - we must compose ourselves. Not only did you use more exclamation points, you also used capital letters, which cost $2 per letter if not at the beginning of a sentence or a proper noun". "Thank you, Julia", responded Theodore. "I shall endeavor to be more careful...". "DAMMIT, TED! ELLIPSIS TAX!!!" :-) | |
