> "That\'s right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

> I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping

> She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery

> the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually
> unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don\'t you drive

> Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a
