In case you were wondering, the “~” character, called a ‘tilde’, is sometimes referred to by some people as a ‘worm’, ergo, there were ‘worms’ all over your document........

My contractor friend took me with him to help with an estimate, and bought me lunch-

The art of anacoluthon
Makes a rather shaky case-
But then there is Hillary-
Who said saving grace?

Maybe she’ll just go with...
Oh, but then there is Obama
He’ll be the reluctant host
Of this year’s tax-o-rama

If you took congress to a roadhouse
Could they even find a beer,
Never mind an...oh, wait a minute-
Everybody quick-look over here...

That’s hard to do-the human mind works in straighter lines...

The French authorities probably don’t want the potential liability if some heaven’s gate-type cult barracades its followers up there and commits mass suicide-I sure as hell wouldn’t...

Funny girl. Most human minds do that but I have been around people that do this on a regular basis. A+ for you.
