Stand-up comedians everywhere can now justify the "I just flew in from XXX and boy, are my arms tired!" line.

It's a fake. He's admitted as much as of this afternoon.

If you're joking, then haha.

If you're implying that my usage of "flies" is improper, then look it up.

i.e.;
fly - flies
ply - plies
dry - dries
cry - cries
try - tries

Joking. The title of the thread reminded me of that book: Eats, shoots, and leaves.

Excellent book, and you are one of the few people I have ever heard mention it, sits next to my Strunk&White.
