    Because your example sentence uses the word ‘went’ rather than ‘was’, you need a comma because those are two separate I dependent clauses.

    You and Dave were together and then Dave leaves you and goes driving by himself… me and Dave, then Dave went.

    If you used ‘was’ then those would not be independent clauses and therefore a comma would not be used. It was me and Dave and Dave was driving.

    Edit: also, why the downvote, we are having a conversation here ??

    I don’t believe that’s accurate.

    There are only two things in the list, pig & whistle.

    They want more space between pig and &.

    They also want more space between & and whistle.

    If we were listing three areas where they want additional space we would need at least one comma, and I would argue for the Oxford comma as well, however we are only listing two areas where we want more space and so no comma is needed.

    Sure it’s nearly unreadable, but I think the punctuation is correct.














  • My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you’re ugly too.

    Boy am I ugly. I’m so ugly that when I was born the doctor slapped my mother.

    My mother, she wouldn’t breastfeed me, she said she liked me as a friend.

    My mother had morning sickness after I was born.

    Then later as I was growing up, when I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.

    On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

    Boy I was an ugly kid. I had plenty of pimples, one day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.

    I met the surgeon general, he gave me a cigarette.

    Then I told my dentist my teeth are going yellow. he told me to wear a brown tie.

    I told my doctor I want to get a vasectomy. He told me that with a face like mine, I don’t need one.

    I told my doctor, “Every day I wake up, I look in the mirror, I want to throw up. What’s wrong with me?” He said, “I don’t know, but your eyesight is perfect.

    I tell ya, I know I’m ugly. My proctologist stuck his finger in my mouth.

    The onion should do a satire version of this article…

    #1) BizzBop: a can of soda

    #2) shaplopped: sitting down in your chair too hard

    #3) smooly-D: having difficulty keeping aim at the urinal.

    #4) snorkeling: to have such abundance that you are euphemistically ‘swimming’ in something.

    Last night I shaplopped, was snorkeling in bizzbop so hard that my smooly-D was straight killing it.

    What else y’all got?
