Just saw this linked from Digg...

I had to think a bit about this, but I think I understand the
problem...

It *looks* like there's a comma between "there" and "is", which would
be grammatically incorrect - but the criticism is invalid, because it
isn't a comma, just a mark on the paper!

;-)


BTW - I wonder how many NTs will take this too literally...

I think the point is the advice was given on the car stalling problem
instead of the husband being caught with the neighbor's daughter.

I think so too, but my current car has lasted longer than one of my
marriages, so what do I know?

That image gets posted frequently on 4chan (among hundreds of others
like it), so I've had time to figure out what was wrong with it. Then it
almost elicits an immediate chuckle the next time around.

The things that last longer than most marriages is a list too big for
the universe to contain it, eh?
