"PT Load Letter"? What does that mean?
"Now, Milton. Don't be stingy. Pass the cake down so we can make sure that everyone gets a piece."
"But, you see, he took my stapler. It's my stapler. It's a Swingline."
Do you mean...PC load letter?
Burn down the building.
It's a jump to conclusions mat.

Well, if you wanted me to have more than the minimum amount of flare, why didn't you make the minimum 32 pieces of flare?

Excuse me. I ordered this margarita. I said no salt, no salt, on the glass. But there is salt on this glass.
