No need to go as far as "See".<BR/><BR/>Is there homework?

Show me ONE WORD you could remove without destroying not only the joke, but all possible sense? It is edited down to the bone. Strunk and White's dictum "Omit needless words" has been fully practiced there.<BR/><BR/>More than one person noted that "Iraqi" and "Female" could be eliminated from E without harming, and in fact improving, the joke, but B, and A and C also for that matter, are edited down to the bare minimum.<BR/><BR/>There's just no pleasing some anonymous people. At least he/she practiced what he/she preached, as he/she eliminated his/her name from his/her insane snark.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-76259283374575408802008-04-22T13:53:00.000-07:002008-04-22T13:53:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-66950209247866159092008-04-22T13:50:00.000-07:002008-04-22T13:50:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-9108718092916358302008-04-22T13:46:00.000-07:002008-04-22T13:46:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-33439207571554343652008-04-22T12:46:00.000-07:002008-04-22T12:46:00.000-07:00C !!!
