Well since his offspring with his daughter may have serious medical issues, it's a good thing they live right next door where they can be carefully monitored
This comma problem happens all the time when the ER enters someone's diagnosis. My personal favorite was "Can't eat diarrhea." Yeah, me either, but I don't go to the ER for it...
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Let's eat, Grandpa!

Eats shoots and leaves.
That's illegal in most states.
Reminds me of the old joke:
What's that on the road a HEAD or What's that on the road ahead?
At least he doesn't smoke. That's really gross.
Um Hmmmm. Tell that to J (Journalism) schools who teach the comma is an outmoded punctuation mark.
Clearly, his wife is a little too supportive and he's a little too independent.
This sounds like the Biblical story of Lot, with the alcohol, the daughters, and the wife who's a pillar of support.
I think he's out standing in his field, or left field, maybe, baby.
Speak, friend, and enter.
Speak 'friend', and enter.
Commas and other punctuation are important. [Insert media snark.]
The family that plays together, stays together!
I see this kind of crap every single day. EVERY DAY.
The latest to drive me (further) insane is people who use "myself" as a primary pronoun, instead of "me" or "I."
Yesterday I was presented with:
"My boss is showing myself and another new hire around the office. Myself and the other new hire just started last week."
I wish I could find the person who sent that in, because I would have responded, "Myself needs to learn the English language."
Incest! A new game brought to you by Waddingtons!
@ Moose:
No, the correct response would have been, "Yourself needs to learn the English language."
;-)
Incest, a game the whole family can play.
Kinda thinkin' the writer is the one who "drinks occasional alcohol". Obvious drain bamage...
