you stink

What the heck is that supposed to mean? Sounds pretty rude to me, and there's no call for that.

Looks like Almost Al considers puns the lowest form of humor, which is an odd characteristic for an Al fan.

I did take a shower this morning. Really I did.

Well, sure you can. But you might induce her to bring out the really big words she knows.

Which would be kinda fun...

Tergiversate.

Oblivious.

Mendacity.

Contumelious.

Meretricious to all, and to all a good night!

Oblivious.

I know that one. In fact, I am that one. I'm gonna have to look up the rest. But one out of five when OE is on a roll ain't too shabby.

WAY to go, Almost Al!

I wasn't thinking of prostitution, though, but more along the lines of

2 a : tawdrily and falsely attractive
b : superficially significant : PRETENTIOUS

I first met that word thanks to Sherlock Holmes-- and I think it may have been in 8th grade.

If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect.
