Frustration with an appliance seems like a poor reason to reinstate a means of execution.

Tumble-dryers.

Useful and a cool name but expensive to run.

I can't pretend to be much of a judge of poetry; I'm an English teacher not a homosexual.

I was the intellectual equivalent of a 98-pound weakling! I would go to the beach and people would kick copies of Byron in my face!
