Your Daily Dose of Joy

My name is Joy.

I live in Maine.

I've never met an exclamation mark I didn't like.

Sometimes I host impromptu dance-offs in the middle of the street.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Thanks, Period

Joy: This woman I’m dealing with right now is being so passive agressive! And she has such a nasty tone in her emails!

Gentleman Caller: Give me an example.

Joy: Well she keeps writing “thanks” as a one-word sentence. Followed by a period. Thanks period. So nasty!

Gentleman Caller: While I realize that you feel the need to use an exclamation mark every time you even think of ending a sentence, do you think it’s possible that other people perhaps use them sparingly? And that, perhaps, the fact that they use a commonly-excepted form of punctuation to end sentences does not actually mean that they are being nasty to you?

Joy: No, she has a tone. Thanks, period. Clearly a tone. 

Gentleman Caller: You’re ending this conversation with a period in your head right now, aren’t you?

Joy: Yes. Period.
