Well, there is the use of plural possessive. For instance:
...players' salary demands...

Speaking of salaries, can you believe what starting pitchers are making these days? I mean, an eight figure payday for chumps who would have been career minor league middle-of-the-rotation guys back in the day.

Back in the day. Where the hell did that term come from? I guess they made it up (wait for it) back in the day.

Oh, that reminds me about something "made up" recently. NFTs. Yep, those million dollar digital thingies collectors were going crazy over not too long ago. Those fools really lost their shirt.

Lose your shirt. Hmmm. "Deep Thoughts" time. Is it worse to lose your shirt when it's cold outside, or only if you're not indoors?

Before you all show me the door, I just have one more question:

If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long does it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

How'd I do?

Geddy Lee’s favorite “The Tragically Hip” song was 50 Mission Cap ,
The lead singer got a large part of the lyrics off of the back of a 1991 NHL Pro Bill Barilko #340 hockey card .

How'd I do?
No offense but you did terrible .
What a poorly worded question .
#1 - which leg does the monkey kick with ?
.. The wooden one or the real one ?
Also is the monkey left-handed or right handed ?
How can you expect an answer with such vague information ?
If you can’t do better go ahead and head for the door
Thanks
Eric

The monkey is left-handed but right-footed.

He also likes pie. Or is it pi? It's hard to tell sometimes with seed-kicking monkeys.

Ding, ding, ding! Correct!

(although whatever answer you gave would have been correct)

Tip o' the hat to you, sir. Let me get you a (virtual) drink, on the house.

Hell, I'm in a good mood...and virtual drinks don't cost me anything...so let me get a round for everyone.
  • 21 or older only, we don't want to get Leon in trouble
  • Hell, Leon can have two drinks
  • All drinks are virtual, dehydrated, fantasy beverages
  • No refunds, returns, exchanges, or bellyaching
