Maybe I'm wrong, but I could have sworn that George Carlin did this first.

Actually, Rich, I have several of these sorts of lists stashed on discs in anticipation of getting a new computer. My old boss (part of the carlbob source)sent most of this to me in emails. I've been debating what to do with it....and when the 3 different uses of the word "present" in a sentence hit me, I figured out that the way our language has been bastardized coupled with these examples, is it any wonder that a world in which English has become the international language there would be people that hate us--might as well be this as whatever the President said or because of foreign policy.

And, of course, it was done with a look at a little gayness to celebrate the New Year. :)
