  Good morning, dear Nancy:

  Your flying off into a wordy craze is quite understandable, given the censuring of thought and action to which we had been long subjected.

  Carry on!

  EXCELLENT, Oubliette!

  The rewrite certainly added clarity. KUDOS for a perfect score.

  One of my lines (reflecting yours): If you don't cut the mustard, you'll never ketchup, and I know you don't relish being in a pickle!

  Before dessert, there must be an endeavor made to correct the sentence.

  In this case, I must insist on "dinner" before dessert!

  BTW: the saying is "just deserts" (not desserts).

  Otherwise, I am a pushover.

  Oubliette:

  Hi there!

  Would you like to throw in a few commas and hyphens in order to make the sentence in question correct?!?!?!? One clue has already been given.

  Thanks.

  Yes, Kate -- good one.

  Distinguish between the dual roles played by the noun "jerk."

  I LOVE ENGLISH!

  No dangling modifiers here -- just punctuation errors:

  In the 60's Bruce my friend used to eat his lunch mid-day which makes sense its noon. He always bought a foot long hot dog for twenty five cents and saved one third for Buster his dog who loved his master with relish.
