I got a spam email from "WhereChristiansMeet", with the subject line "Meet Singles With Christian Principles". Hmmm. Funny thing for an atheist to get, but beyond that, it sparked a snark in me.

I mentioned the email to a friend, along with my feelings: "Must... not... unleash... snark... soooooo... difficult..."

She replied, "why bother? It's just spam."

But the temptation was too great. "OK," I said, "Just one; a grammar snark. Do they mean to suggest that I can meet singles who practice Christian principles? Or do they mean that I can meet singles by using Christian principles? C'mon, people, English isn't that hard! Subject-Verb-Object. It's easy-peasy."

"Hmm..." she said, "is there a difference?"

"Sure. One's about praying. And one's about preying."

Thanks, folks! I'll be here all week! Try the salmon!"

PS: Yes, this was an actual conversation.

Christians Meat tastes just like chicken. It's a small market, but the Mormans have a monopoly on it. See Dooce.com for the best tasting relics.
