Hi there…

I started blogging with the following acute observation I gleaned from watching countless TV shows:

Have you noticed…

…that when a character says to another

Can I have a word with you?

…the ensuring interaction never just one word:

Jason, looking concerned, says to Molly: “Can I have a word with you?”

“Alright, stud,” says Molly, “what’s on your mind?”
They are standing, unconcernedly, in the dimly lit doorway of Molly’s house, Jason’s hand rests languidly on the knob, he says only one word: “A!” Then turns with a jerk, he opens the door and vanishes into the night, wearing nothing but the comical smile on his face, his clothes on his shoulder, woody pointing the way…

Jason just said one word, exactly what he said… “Can I have a word…” very funny Jason, how droll.

But, that never happens,

Jason would have said a whole lot than “A” before rushing away with in tail between his naked legs.
some examples might be:

– “You were awesome Shelly! You took my breath away…”
– “I really like your rhododendron bushes, but they need a trim…”
– “If you become pregnant, I’ll be most happy to support the child, here is my email, bank card, PIN and grave site marker…”
– “I was just testing, I really am Gay…”
– “My name is Jason because I was conceived at Crystal Lake as my parents watched Nightmare…”

Oh gosh that was soo much fun!

So you can see, “Can I have a word…” should always mean more than just one word.

— after I wrote and edited this profound “have you noticed” in modern TV statement; I had several other brainwaves of the same genre, 15 at least.
Some I’ve probably bored you with before, others are new, and some are truly incredible!

So, instead of sending you 15+ observations, I’m gonna break them down into bit-size morsels, with some big chews thrown in for good measure!

That’s just my way of saying: stay tuned!

Have a tasty day!
