The sign told us: When Fog on Mountain, Be Alert and Drive Slowly. We whipped past it. You were not aware of the sign
- Reading while I'm driving makes me sick.
Well fine. I'll do the reading for both of us. There wasn't a comma on the sign. I added it for you because commas drive you nuts. Not when they're misused but when they're used at all. You speak at a pauseless clip. You only use the period (which I'll admit deserves some love as a sign of punctuation anyway) and God Forbid a comma appear in your way. Some grammarian must have traumatized you in grade school. I have never seen you so angry at Word as when it insists on adding one. Even Clippy is a more welcome sight than the green squiggle that alerts you to a mistake of usage.
But this is the kind of sign you would have heeded. This sign without punctuation should appear a welcome sight after three hours on the road which is too much for you. But since you care so little for our saftey, I think it best that it be the kind of sign that does you in.
