    The higher the clouds the better the weather

    Despising machines to a man,
    The Luddites joined up with the Klan,
    And ride out by night In a sheeting of white
    To lynch all the robots they can.

    Dear Mister Language Person: What is the purpose of the apostrophe?

    Answer: The apostrophe is used mainly in hand-lettered small business signs
    to alert the reader than an "S" is coming up at the end of a word, as in:
    WE DO NOT EXCEPT PERSONAL CHECK'S, or: NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ITEM'S.
    Another important grammar concept to bear in mind when creating hand- lettered small-business signs is that you should put quotation marks around random
    words for decoration, as in "TRY" OUR HOT DOG'S, or even TRY "OUR" HOT DOG'S.

    out, and goes up to the blonde's car and starts
    destroying her seats...

    As he goes back over to the blonde, she has a
    smirk on her face.

    Even more angry now, the trucker goes into his
    rig, and takes out his beat stick.... goes
    back over to her car and starts busting out
    the windows....

    This time he goes up to the girl and she is
    just laughing hysterically.

    Confused and extremely angry, he asks her,
    "What on EARTH is SO FUNNY?!! I just des
