  Welcome, piztjw!

  Good one!

  Interesting re beside/besides:

  Beside -- as noted above -- means "at the side of," yet besides similarly means "along the side of." However, besides may indicate "in addition to." Therefore, "Besides (i.e., in addition to) a dog, a book is a man's best friend," makes more sense grammatically, but what you offered is a humorous twist that carries the day [how does one carry the day?].

  THANKS!

  Thanks for your posts, Oubliette and LisaRose!

  Excellent!

  Nice comment about inspiration toward creativity, Lisa. A little student of mine has asked to be taken to an art museum in order to become inspired!

  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.
