Pretty OK Guy

I read a few other blogs looking for material to inspire me (or outright steal). Although he doesn't post every day, Seattlite Matthew Baldwin's defective yeti is my uncontested #1 for funniest blog. Here's a quote from this week:

I had this epiphany the other day: the word "please" is just shorthand for "pleas." So instead of going through the bother of making actual pleas when you want something you just say "please" instead, and I guess that's supposed to be sufficient. It's like walking into a car dealership, saying "Toyota Corolla, negotiate," and expecting them to immediately knock $800 off the sticker price.

Well, screw that. The next time I'm in Arby's and the teen behind the counter say "can I take your order, please?" I'm going to be all, like, "Pffft -- you'll get my order when I hear some actual pleading, slacker."
