and then it was the end

- today, whilst purchasing a product from a store, the woman who was kind enough to take our money greeted both my mother and myself.

- "how are you doing this aft?"

- are you kidding? this aft? i hate short forms while having internet discussions, so you can imagine how badly i wanted to rip out her trachea as it splurted out of her dirty, dirty mouth.

- it's TWO SYLLABLES. just two.

- if you really have a hard time pronouncing them, i'll give you an extra two to try on for size instead: just die.
