Mom: "Calvin, I asked you to clean your room" Calvin: "I DID" Mom: "Well, you didn't do a very good job then. It looks as messy as it did before" Mom: "You should take pride in what you do, and always do the best job possible" Calvin: "I don't need to do a better job. I need better P.R. on the job I DO"

You can never clean well enough for a mother. I spent two weeks cleaning my apartment when my Mom was going to visit, and the first thing she did was walk over to a window and say “These window tracks are filthy!” Who the heck would even think to clean window tracks?

@Thirdguy: So, if you are arrested by the punctuation police, could you wind up with a complete sentence?
Hobbes Premium Member over 10 years ago
The good thing is, if you happen to misplace your apostrophe, it won’t be lost for long. Someone here is sure to find it.

I had a job one time where we were on a quota system and the object was to get a fast start on Monday to grab the easiest items to calibrate for that week or you’d get stuck with a bunch of “dogs” and not make rate.So, one Friday my desk was spotless so I could have a running start the next Monday.Came in Monday, and there was a massive pile of junk on the desk!And the boss met me with “So and so in such and such department is getting rid of this stuff, see if there’s anything we can use!”Needless to say, I didn’t meet the quota that week.Moral: A clean desk/room is just a dumping spot for other peoples trash!

I thought that was true with the plural, but not a singular word ending in “s”. I may be wrong, though.

@Calvin: If this is what your room looks like after you cleaned it, what was it like before?!

@Zero-Gabriel: As Albert Einstein once said, “Don’t believe every quote you read on the Internet, because I totally didn’t say that."(I quoted the above from the Internet.)
