Well, I had planned a bitterly ironic and negative 10 that I was going to call The Consolations of St Declan, but someone wiser than I (me? how can you tell? subject? object?) prevailed upon me to reconsider.
But listen....I cracked a joke in a class last night and everyone laughed.
It's a class in learning to teach English (in order that I may abandon the anglosphere) and we were asked to give an example of the Present Continuous, and the example I gave was...
'I am having a dog'.
It helps if you say it with an Indian accent.
