2:38 PM >> Thanks but no thanks

Have you ever thought about the phrase "thank you very much?" It is so odd when you dissect it--there is no subject in that sentence! Yet we speak this so-called sentence to people all the time, and no one bats an eyelash. Can you imagine if I had written this blog with no subjects?

C'mon. What a bunch of gibbery bullcrap. TYVM is almost an order when you really look at it for a long time (17 minutes). How do you deny a thank you? Sometimes I just don't want someone's thanks; no need for me to feel you are indebted to me just because I picked up and extra McRib from McDonald's. Go on your merry way.

Yes, that's it: Go on your merry way. Suddenly, I have my ultra-new, ultra-hip, so-tomorrow response to some lame-o, no-subject-sportin' "thank you very much."
