Can you guess ...
(1) the site owner's first name?
(2) the owner's once-upon-a-time college major?
(3) if the owner has an "attitude"?
[answers]
(1) As you may have guessed, this site belongs to Rich,
(2) who majored in Rhetoric,
(3) which (at least in the USA) means "English with an attitude". Watch out for tongue lashings on this site wherever you look.
So, what's the point of this web site?
People have been telling Rich for years that he needs to publish his peculiar form of humor and the figures of speech he's invented. You won't have to look very far to find evidence of "out-of-the-box" thinking.
For instance, at the end of a restaurant meal, when your server asks, "Wanna box for that?", Rich says, "Offer to wrestle instead."
If you're asked whether you agree with what you think is a narrow point of view, say "I take it with a grain of gestalt."
Not everything here will be stupid puns, but a lot of it will.
When the attractive pharmacist asked, "Is that a pestle in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?", I was simply mortar-fied.
