Assailing and misspelt. Love!

re Program.
The gram is a metric unit of mass, not of weight.
I loved your definitions. They made me chuckle and today I needed that since I wasn't feeling up to par. Thank you!
Sixpence: I try.....
Ole: Oh, fuck off. 99% of the time it's used to refer to weight. The dictionary defines it as "a metric unit of mass or weight".
Mildred: Always glad to help -- I think we can all use some occasional diversion these days.
These grabbed me from the beginning with ... Adversity then Candidate being a tryst at the chocolate store. Got me to smiling right away. Thank you for the insights and the chuckles, just what I needed.
Wishing you well, my friend! Stay Safe!!
Assailing - very funny to my immature sense of humor.
Contest could also be a requirement to get out of prison.
These are hilarious! Particularly "assailing"(lol) Air Hugs, RO
I loved this so much..very very smart.
Now, now, don't fight over what gram means. While it can be a unit of weight or mass, program is actually an offshoot of AARP, and it promotes the interests of grandmothers. It promotes exercise for grandma (cardiogram), prepaid funeral expenses (cryptogram), Cardi B impersonator's rap music (cardiogram), streaming TV services (cablegram), streaming music (radiogram) and, of course, sweets for the sweet (candygram). They even have a daily program for abuelas (diagram).
Thank you for the mental distraction.
Took me a minute to get "misspelt" but then my one last remaining brain cell kicked in!
That was hysterical - & I needed it!
Dellgirl: Glad to offer some entertainment.
Lady M: It reflects my own immature sense of humor.
Mike: Or a parole hearing.....
RO: :-)
JackieSue: I try.....
Nonnie: I'm stealing some of those, as soon as I figure out how.
Debra: I'm still waiting for someone unfamiliar with non-US spelling to tell me it's misspelt.
Loretta: Thanks! Plenty more where these came from -- this is the 16th set I've done.
Catastrophe: The grand prize for la belle derierre at the cat show.
:-)
