the above "funniness".
Here's a "funny" that happens where I work all the time; and we have to proof
read each other's reports because of this zany English grammar, which we all
"slide into". It's an aspect of the English language that shows itself often!
Imagine a police report as follows, : "Bob punched John in the face; then he
hit him with a pipe. Immediately thereafter he shot him dead." Though the
grammar "flies", we can't say for sure who's dead, nor who got hit with the
pipe. That's why in many places such reports are written with the names of
the persons involved typed over and over again. He, him, she, and all other
pronouns are FORBIDDEN. Again, a quirk of our English language. When we point
out to one another, the parts that can be understood to mean more than one thing,
it usually takes about 2 -3 seconds for "the other side" to show itself to the
original writer. Then it always results in a big grin and we get the GRACIE ALLEN
award. {If you're too young to know what made her so funny it's youtube.com time;
to view some classic clips of her with her husband George Burns} SO, please don't
feel picked on because it certainly is NOT something I've never done. It just
made me laugh when I expected to see an engineering show about transaxles and
the airplane info popped up! I said to myself, "JUST LIKE AT WORK!!!"
