Well, At Least You’ve Got Looks.

I’d like to propose a ban on the sentence construction “What part of (insert phrase here) do you not understand?” I’ve had it with that phrase. Actually, I never liked it; its inherent meanness is far outweighed by its alleged comic value.

On the other hand… I was in the waiting room for an audition yesterday for a commercial for Oklahoma University Medical Center, featuring a husband and wife driving home after she’s been treated for cancer.

An actress sitting next to me asked the casting director if the wife dies.

Yes hon, this is a commercial for OU Medical Center, the place patients choose first when they want to die. Next, please.
