Bettering the Bard?

[Molly]

Have you read this book?

[Alan]

Hi Molly,

An interesting point. Can you give instances of this:

[Molly]

Well I'm not so geekish as to save/collect such instances, Alan, but you doubt it happens?

[Alan]

Hi,

No doubt expressed and I take your point about being geekish but I just wanted a sort of general comment.

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's Eve? Though art wonderfully cooling and cleansing.

hehe

...the feminine cleansing product. (in case anyone didn't get that)

[prezbucky]

lol

if the woman in my life saw my post, she'd probably kick my ass

"That is NOT FUNNY, JERK!"

[prezbucky]

it's like when I went to see American Pie in a theater... two male pals and the sister of one attended it with me.

Of course we were laughing constantly, and in some instances the comedy in the film offended the sister and she'd be like, "Shut up, you guys, that is not funny!"

moral of the story:

What's funny to one person might be offensive to another.
