I'm Possibly Not as Funny as I Think I Am
So I posted an ad on craigslist. Inter alia, I said: "I enjoy spelling skills and using apostrophe's appropriately. You enjoy alliteration and subtle humor."
I don't know; I thought it was pretty funny. So this girl writes me: blah, blah, blah, you're awesome, your spelling is great but there shouldn't be an apostrophe in apostrophes.
I write back: One point for technical correctness. See paired statements. Perhaps my humor is too subtle.
We meet for coffee, and she brings up the apostrophe. I make some allusion to a giant piece of meat in the middle of an empty field, and a hungry tiger thinking its scored the jackpot. She then asks if I went back and fixed my ad. I say, it's a good thing you're not a tiger.
So, is it just me? Because I'm still cracking myself up.
