| Someone was at a party when he started boasting to the local journalists that his command of English language was better than that of the average journalist's. An editorial writer didn't take too kindly to that and said, "Well, I'll bet you $100 that I can stump you." "I accept your wager," he said. "I'll bet you can't use the word 'because' three times consecutively in a sentence. That is my challenge!" After thinking for a moment, he replied, "You cannot end a sentence with the word because because because is a conjunction. You lose." |
