Do not use semicolons
They stand for absolutely nothing
They are transvestite hermaphrodites.

I never use semicolons. In my line of work half-ass people never amount to a hill of frijoles!

I prefer a semi-colonic to a high colonic any day

nothing wrong with half-assed
semi-stupid works too
sigmoid freud is my friend
but a constipated symphony is dreary dread
instead i prefer
to demurrr
and shall remark
no more;
i deplore the anti-semicolon war
half period
half comma
a pause in th flow
a break in th slow tumbling of clarity
onto the shore of diseased beings
bileuos blessings to all
pfft!

I used to have a friend who was a mathematician.
Whenever he got constipated he worked it out with a pencil.
I am still semi crazy
after all these years
