Give Me A Two-Liner

Rules are simple.

1. Your entry must be two original lines (or two sentences, depending on the structure you choose).
2. Use spell-checker.
3. No sticky caps or internet lingo.

It can be happy, sad, meaningful, pointless, thoughtful, silly, etc.

Any questions? Just ask me, and I would be more than happy to help out.

    I am sorry this took so long to finish. I made the mistake of pairing this contest with finals time.
