[quoteost_uid0="NAHTMMM"][color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, yes, but "like" is, like, one of the most overused words in the English language, because people like to use it a lot. "Like"'s meaning has been watered down by so much use, it has a very, very weak connotation. It's like it's hardly there at times.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]It's a fiver, not Charles Dickens', [iost_uid0]A Tale of Two Matrices[/iost_uid0]

(I just got done reading [iost_uid0]A Tale of Two Cities,[/iost_uid0] so I've developed a contempt for verbosity - but, look who's talking )

At any rate - the joke is effective for the very reson it dosen't appeal to you. The word is so used that it flows naturally off the tongue. The joke is natural, not contrived.

Of course, this is just an opinion - but I'm trying to be persuasive as well.

So, a vote for Kira's from me.[/colorost_uid0]
