I had a wonderful time last night. The food was fantastic. If anyone ever comes to Norfolk, Virginia, I highly recommend that they go here http://freemasonabbey.com/ for dinner. It's located close to the harbor and next to downtown Norfolk.

Well, I guess I'm screwed. "Screwed" is my word for the next few days.
I'm sorry. Was the hard drive damaged as well?
Yep. I'm afraid so. The hard drive suddenly clicked, and when I rebooted the laptop, the system can't identify the hard drive.

Two?
Sir, I believe your product is titled "ONE A DAY"
I feel as though I've been scammed.

Try this one, from Dickens' "American Notes for General Circulation":
Charles Dickens, clearly enjoying, in every aspect, the full and, some may say, unfettered use of the comma, wrote:
I shall never forget the one-fourth serious and three-fourths comical astonishment, with which, on the morning of the third of January eighteen-hundred-and-forty-two, I opened the door of, and put my head into, a 'state room' on board the Britannia steam-packet, twelve hundred tons burden per register, bound for Halifax and Boston, and carrying Her Majesty's mails. That this state-room had been specifically engaged for 'Charles Dickens, Esquire, and Lady,' was rendered sufficiently clear even to my scared intellect by a very small manuscript, announcing the fact, which was pinned on a very flat quilt, covering a very thin mattress, spread like a surgical plaster on a most inaccessible shelf.
But that this was the state-room concerning which Charles Dickens, Esquire, and Lady, had held daily and nightly conferences for at least four months preceding: that this could by any possibility be that small snug chamber of the imagination, which Charles Dickens, Esquire, with the spirit of prophecy strong upon him, had always foretold would contain at least one little sofa, and which his lady, with a modest yet most magnificent sense of its limited dimensions, had from the first opined would not hold more than two enormous portmanteaus in some odd corner out of sight (portmanteaus which could now no more be got in at the door, not to say stowed away, than a giraffe could be persuaded or forced into a flower-pot): that this utterly impracticable, thoroughly hopeless, and profoundly preposterous box, had the remotest reference to, or connection with, those chaste and pretty, not to say gorgeous little bowers, sketched by a masterly hand, in the highly varnished lithographic plan hanging up in the agent's counting-house in the city of London: that this room of state, in short, could be anything but a pleasant fiction and cheerful jest of the captain's, invented and put in practice for the better relish and enjoyment of the real state-room presently to be disclosed:- these were truths which I really could not, for the moment, bring my mind at all to bear upon or comprehend. And I sat down upon a kind of horsehair slab, or perch, of which there were two within; and looked, without any expression of countenance whatever, at some friends who had come on board with us, and who were crushing their faces into all manner of shapes by endeavouring to squeeze them through the small doorway.

Bravo, sir, I say, bravo.

Reminds me of food that's advertised as being low in calories per serving, and then you look on the label and see that one serving is defined as one cookie or something.
