ReplyDeleteAssailing and misspelt. Love!

re Program.
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteSixpence: I try.....
ReplyDeleteOle: 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.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well, my friend! Stay Safe!!
Assailing - very funny to my immature sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteContest could also be a requirement to get out of prison.
ReplyDeleteThese are hilarious! Particularly "assailing"(lol) Air Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteI loved this so much..very very smart.
ReplyDeleteNow, 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).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the mental distraction.
Took me a minute to get "misspelt" but then my one last remaining brain cell kicked in!
