What’s with punctuation being named after things in the body?
Like a period. I don’t know what it is about a tiny black dot that resembles a woman shedding her uterine lining. Maybe it’s symbolic of the ovum that will never be fertilized. Maybe I just shouldn’t go there.
Then there’s the colon: what’s the deal? A couple of specks versus… that thing? I guess most people don’t really know how to use either one, what with colon cancer rising and university education increasingly being wasted on idiots that can’t grasp proper punctuation.
Perhaps we have just found the common link. Are both punctuation and body parts meant to be grasped? That would make sense, if it weren’t for the contradictory evidence of little Jimmy getting a D on his Shakespeare exam after having dedicated the previous night entirely to grasping his own dick. The aspiring young academic tried his best to contest the grade, but to no avail.
“C’mon prof, I was gonna comma in my pants!”
“If you are suggesting what I think you are suggesting—“
“No, no, uh, I mean I had my period.”
“What?”
“(.)(.)”
“Put those away!”
“I’m just trying to punctuate my point!”
“JIMMY you’re…suffocating me…”
Shakespeare would have approved, especially with regard to the young man’s gender bending efforts. So why not the Shakespeare professor? Major Cultural Wha alert.
These people clearly get my drift:
