Comma chameleon

Hypothetically, if you finally notice, a month into the semester, that someone is in your class, is it rude to loudly exclaim, "HEY! WHAT? YOU'RE IN THIS CLASS?" when you see them? Even if, hypothetically, you only technically met them in person this weekend? It seems terrible, like you're saying, "Hey there, Completely Unremarkable Person, it took me a month to notice you."

Not that I have done anything like that, or anything. Twice in the past week. But on a completely unrelated subject, can you suggest any nearby holes for me to crawl into?

Also, and I'm just asking here, seriously, how many friggin' commas can I use in this post?

Hmmmm. That would have to be a very deep hole, perhaps buried under one of those Great Lakes you have around there. I dunno. I've never been to your neck of the woods.

Are you saying I'm fat????

No, no. He's saying you're tall. Hence the hole being deep. If he were saying you were fat then he would have said it'd have to be a wide hole.

Incidentally, perhaps you should dig one that's wide AND deep, in case you stretch or gain weight while you're down there. It could be a while. I will lower cans of pork n beans to you.

This just gets better and better. Now I live in a hole and eat nothing but pork 'n' beans. Sweet.

I usually use a comma anytime I would normally pause while speaking. Sometimes I write like I just finished running a mile.

I think it's interesting how you added the apostrophes that I omitted from pork 'n' beans.

I tried not to, but I couldn't do it!

Did you do it just to show me up, or just to be a perfectionist? Huh? HUH???
