Then she would have an extremely complicated alimony situation that could tie up the courts for a very long time and rack up large amounts of legal bills.

“Quack, quack, quack.”

Being ugly is a major disadvantage for employment, relationships, and everything else. For those of us who are ugly enough that it is derailing our lives and careers, this is just as serious an impediment as many other medical conditions. If adjusting our looks is mandatory for society to accept us, insurance should cover it.

This song came out when you couldn’t just Google lyrics. I liked it a lot, but there was one line that vexed me. My best guess was “Sitting by the lit-up home, while everyone else is down the street.”

It is actually “Sitting idle in our boat, while everyone else is down the stream.”

Yes, it is true that “overexaggerate” is listed as a word in some dictionaries. But even if it is a word, what does it mean?

See “exaggerate” already means that a statement is excessive. So “overexaggerate” means “excessively excessive.”

Is there an amount of excess that is just right, and then a higher level of excess that is excessive excess? How do you even know where the line is?

“Overexaggerate” just hits my ear wrong, and FWIW, my iPhone is marking it as a spelling error.

It’s the hot new game taking the Internet by storm:

Two Truths and a Pumpkin!

Here are three statements. Two of them are truthful statements. One of them is a pumpkin.

1. The boiling temperature of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. The capital of Maryland is Annapolis.

3. 🎃

Now, for the question that has stumped nearly 0.0000000000002% of users:

Can you tell which one is the pumpkin?

I posted a similar thread on TOMT a while ago but didn’t get any responses.

I remember this ad - I think it was from the 1990s. I always thought it was a cute ad, but now I can’t find any clips or even any other mentions of it.

At the start of the ad, some pickup trucks race onto the screen and the announcer says something like, “Our trucks are the greatest trucks in the universe!!!”

But then there are some aliens with a crazy space-truck, who are deeply offended by this statement. They start firing lasers at the trucks, and the trucks swerve around them.

The word “Correction” flashes across the screen, and the announcer says, “The greatest trucks on earth.” The aliens are pleased and cease the attack.

Am I really the only one who remembers this ad?
