• A bar was walked into by the passive voice.

• A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite.

• Papyrus and Comic Sans walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Get out — we don’t serve your type.”

• A hyphenated word and a non-hyphenated word walk into a bar and the bartender nearly chokes on the irony

All my language learning has ground to a halt. No French or Urdu for quite a while.

So decided to do it even slower. Tiny bits of French daily with a chapter of Assimil’s, New French With Ease. Hopefully, that’ll help me be persistent.
