One sentence game

[Claude Thibodeau]

Smiling is the most useful tool for a diplomat. 

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Diplomat" is a job that often seems you get based on who you know, as opposed to what you know.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Know-it-alls seldom know everything as they proclaim.

Proclaim, do I, 'tis far better to have legitimate first-hand or in-depth knowledge on a variety of subjects and be branded a "know- it-all" by know-nothings (and smug, self-righteous, over-"educated" midwits whose "expertise" is one-dimensional or mostly derived from internet rebleatings) than to be one of the latter.

latter is not to be mistaken for ladder

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Ladder" is what women used to call a "run" in a stocking.

[thatz4u]

stocking shelves is an entry level grocery store job

Job performance doesn't seem to be much of a criterion for continued employment these days.

[misterNNL]

Days being what they are, just showing up every day might qualify as a  skill

[Ace-Garageguy]

Skill with a scalpel is something one would prefer his surgeon to possess.

[Classicgas]

Possess a skill and your better off than most it seems these days.

[misterNNL]

Days are here when children should be raised knowing that we have some expectations for them to have an education and obtain life skills to provide for them selves and live independently.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Independently" is a concept that makes a lot of herd animals uneasy, top predators not so much.  

[Tom Geiger]

Much ado about nothing!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Nothing says "I don't know what a sentence is" more than the last post.

Post what you like, it's the internet and it's not like just anybody can see it.

[misterNNL]

It was all supposed to a fun project if I remember correctly.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Correctly played by the simple rules anyone should be able to master, or just post anything, disregarding the rules: one way it's a game, the other way what's the point?

Point blank range usually means you aren't going to miss your target.

[Claude Thibodeau]

Target stores left the Canadian market with a resounding flop.

[1972coronet]

"Flop that MPC 1968 Coronet into the P.O. Box, s'il vous plait?", I'm going to enquire of the Postal Carrier this afternoon.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Afternoon delight" has become a trip to Taco Bell, rather than time out at the girlfriend's place. 

[Calb56]

Place the burrito on the table and back away slowly. 

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Slowly", or more accurately "a little more slowly than I used to" is the way I do most things these days...including eating burritos.

Burritos, of the Flying Brothers kind, performed awesome versions of R&B and Soul songs in a C&W manner
