“Howdy, Tex – how’s your truck search going?”
“Well pardner – not so good. I found a truck I like, but the owner won’t respond to me.”
“Who’s the owner?”
“I think it’s William Shatner.”
“Jerk.”

Thanks for the post, Mike!

    I ought be fair and allow that Spark’ has spent too much time around loud impact wrenches, but, my back hurts, and I’m about to head into the meleé which is my commute. So, charity is not overflowing from me just now.

    “Captain.”

    “Yes, Uhura?”

    “We’re receiving a transmission from the planet’s surface. It’s about your truck, sir. Someone named Tex wants to beam aboard and see it.”

    “I’ve already told you: I will not. Respond. To. Tex.”

    “Tex is sending an image, sir. It’s identified as a selfie.”

    “Oh, all right. Put it on the screen.”

    (An image of a green dancing girl appears on the screen.)

    “Oh, well, that’s different. Contact security and have some red-shirts give Tex a hearty Federation welcome.”

    Which of these statements is the most true?

    A. Sparky loves the wheels on this truck, and doesn’t want to let them go.

    B. Sparky was emotionally scarred as a child while listening to a Tex Ritter song.

    C. Sparky goes to Science Fiction conventions dressed as Captain Kirk.

    D. Sparky slipped in a photo of the front end of a white truck, and hopes you won’t notice.

    E. All of the above.

    Someone needs to tell Sparky that internet postings don’t need to be written telegraph style.

    Something about this is making me picture Shatner, standing on a table with a megaphone, reciting this to a hip-hop bluegrass dance mix backing track.

    Oh, dear. Now I’ve given him ideas.

    No, Tex. Sparky will not accept $3449 or $3451. What part of $3450 – $3450 don’t you understand?

      $3450 – $3450 = $0000

    It doesn’t look like any of those periods are being used as decimal points. So, 81 periods must mean 81 sentences. There are 88 actual words and 13 misspelled words, single letters, numbers, and acronyms. That is less than 1.25 words per sentence.

    Maybe Sparky would get less ridicule if he left the periods alone and just had 1 big run-on sentence fragment.

    END.

    [corey] William Shatner is just one more gift of funny that we in the frozen north have bestowed upon the USA, so you’re welcome, or sorry about that, you choose. [corey]

      Shatner, we like.

        Nope, uh uh, no way, that one was on clearance, as is, no returns IF, sorry. We are willing to accept the Ryans (Gosling and Reynolds) back though. You can keep Celine Dion and Pamela Anderson too.

        It’s totally different when a man says this than when a woman says this:

        I went through a whole box of tissue during that movie.

    It makes a nice rap if you’re into that sort of thing. Really, just bob your head at every period and soon you’ve got a heck of a rhythm going.
