Today at school, I was on my way to english class when I noticed a sign taped to the door. It read: "'Let's eat grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, grandma!' Punctuation saves lives." I laughed for about 10 minutes. MLIA
It was a joke... because I said that exaggerations were horrible, and then I said they were the worst thing ever, when really, they are not. I was exaggerating as well. :)
In order for a human to consume enough marijuana to be fatal, they would have to consume nearly 40,000 times the amount of THC required to intoxicate them. In contrast, it only requires about 5 to 10 times the amount of alcohol required to intoxicate, to be fatal. For example, if it requires 3 beers to intoxicate you, it only requires 15 to 30 beers to kill you. However, if it takes you 3 'hits' of marijuana to intoxicate you, it would require 120,000 hits to kill you. Thus, it is virtually impossible to die of a marijuana overdose.
I was just about to reference that. Minus the walking into the bar thing. That is not in the book. At all. And by adding it you missed a comma and a conjunction.

this book. but what's funny is that I just found out it's based off a joke...so you were right first.
I prefer the one about the panda who walks into a restaurant, shoots the ceiling and walks away because a zoo pamphlet said the panda "eats, shoots and leaves."
I just read an MLIA that said something about," when we were finished eating my cousin and I went..." I read it as,"When we were finished eating my cousin..." Commas do matter!
