You say that… But there was a news story a few years ago, about a guy in China who got instructions off of the Internet, and drove of to a quarry. Then self crucified himself. And yes, died from it.
Lots of strange things happen, particularly in death…
That’s a very odd story. Death is very mysterious in general, but that is a very baffling way for someone to die.
It wasn’t intended. It was clear that the guy was trying to have a transcendental experience. It certainly wasn’t a suicide, no notes or anything. Apparently, he was known for doing these sorts of things, being a devout Christian.
And no, I know of no devout Christian who would do that, though some people do go through being flogged then put upon a cross for religious purposes.
It got featured in Private Eye Magazine, and Fortean Times. Fortean Times records a lot of strange deaths.
… And tragic, most of all. I hadn’t heard of that story.
So very true. The same holds true with pauses in speech. My mother used to drive my dad crazy in the car when they drove past a certain road sign that read “Stop ahead” she would say it, “Stop a head”. Made my dad nuts.
Such succinct directions. One question: the shower already was on the agenda when the throwable tike turned up, no? Else, you need to streamline your toss. Thanks. Actually did Laugh out Loud. And I enjoyed the journey to get to this witticism.
A Narcissist Writes Letters, To Himself 
Hilarious post! I’ve nominated you for The Blogger Recognition Award! Please do join in! Please do check out my newest post for more information!https://ramexabella.wordpress.com/2015/08/25/blogger-recognition-award/
I love this. This is a great example of how punctuation can misconstrue a statement like:
Grammar: Knowing your shit.
&
Knowing you’re shit.
or
Let’s help uncle Jack off the horse.
&
Let’s help uncle jack off the horse.
In addition to liking this post in general, I wanted to [Like] the specific comment by Druggie Diaries but could not find a button for doing that.
I agree. I liked ‘Druggie Diary’ s entry too as well as your own example. succinct and brilliant 🙂
Ah! These are great too!
Or, “Lets eat, Grandma!” and “Lets eat Grandma!”
smiles!
Isn’t there something about the crucifixion too? I tell you (,) this day (,) you will be with me in paradise. Might be an urban legend, though..

OMG man had to make a bee line for the potty for this one!
It is amazing how a little thing like where you punctuate can change the meaning so easily. Great work!
You gotta take a shower after throwing a baby. They always spit up on you when you’re winding up for the pitch.
Haha. This justifies the existence of grammar nazis!
🙂 LOL Would that have anything to do with a boning baby boy. If you throw him, will he bounce?

Misplaced, commas are the best.
