Mr. Lingo: "I didn't have a seizure! You don't understand!"
Dr. Grumpy: "Well, they aren't that uncommon. Every year..."

ReplyDelete"I brand livestock for a living. If this were to happen while I'm on the job, it would really affect the brand."
ReplyDeleteYou could tell him that he could use synonyms such as:

Maybe those would sound better for his "brand"
Though they probably wouldn't make a difference for the report to the motor vehicles department.
