When you're on a holiday
You can’t find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

[Blake]

Someone should point out to Melvin that running on a pitcher who is known for throwing the fastball high in the zone isn't a recipe for success.

 

Scratch that, Melvin should keep up the fine work.

[Blake]

 

You mean this?

By jove, I think he's got it!

What if they're paper, Mr. Fancy Pants?

Pretty sure the Pants family would prefer the full honorific.

 

Was that Dr. Fancy Pants, Professor Fancy Pants, or the Right Honorable Fancy Pants you were addressing.?

[Blake]

 

They will tell stubbornly tell you that they are. 

 

I know a few of them. 

 

This might shock you but I tend to tease a bit. I say things like "Is there a certain percentage of correct forecasts you must get correct before they stop you from forecasting? 30% or something? 

 

Well, It turns out they've heard these type of comments before and have lost a significant portion of their sense of humor on the subject. 

I've always interpreted "50% chance of rain" as "there is a 50/50 chance it will rain where I live."

Blake, I'm going to be honest with you. 

 

I lost track along the way and can't be certain if any of the sandwiches below contain car parts or roofing nails.
