Why the World Needs Editors

Sometimes I wonder if the world really needs people like me, people who agonize over where commas should go in long, convoluted sentences. Then I see a sign like this: OK, maybe the owner of this place is named Pastry and he's planning a theatrical production containing some sweet roles for aspiring actors. And maybe this production will involve a thrilling, to-the-death showdown between the do-nuts and the don't-nuts. Or maybe he just needed an editor.

That's an excellent sign. I'd like one o' them sweet roles.

That is HILARIOUS! I feel a Broadway musical coming on, based on that sign. You could write the script (so it has commas in all the right places). And Jonathan could write the music when he gets home. =)

Oh bloody he**. That window needs a brick.

Misuse of the apostrophe should be a Taser-able offense.
