Bob: "Do you think change is hard?"
Ray: "I sure do! Have you ever tried to bend a quarter?"
My husband and I often spell words so that our small children won't understand what we're saying. I didn't realize what a habit this had become until one day when my husband and I were in the grocery store at the soup aisle.
An aggressive young woman banged into our cart, then nudged me over, blocking my access to the soup. Annoyed, I looked at my husband and said, "Boy is she r-u-d-e!"
"Yeah," he replied, "but I'll bet she can s-p-e-l-l."
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
To.
To who?
Don't you mean, "to whom"?
I’m employed at a computer security company and have a colleague whose name is M. Alware. His e-mail address is malware@company.com.
My ex-boss’s name is R. Stone. His e-mail was stoner@company.co.in.
My name is James Pan. Every other permutation of my name was taken (e.g., jpan, jamesp), so I’m stuck with japan@university.edu.
