Semantics

I made a bank run for work this afternoon and as I left, the teller told me to “have a blessed day”. Now even if I believed in such a thing as a “blessed” day, which I don’t, wouldn’t it sort of be out of my hands as to whether or not I had one? Wouldn’t that instead be up to the one doing the actual “blessing”?

Yeah, semantics. I know. And then there’s this:

Jeez, what did they do? Shoot him? Wouldn’t it have been enough just to have cancelled his speaking engagement? Did they have to cancel him?

I’ll stop now…
