Funnier aurally.

'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy.

See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen.

The algebra has a devil for a sidekick eeeeeeeeee.

Before my daughter could read or even knew her alphabet, she used to sit down and scrawl and scribble "word" after "word"; page after page she "wrote".

Then she'd give it to me and say "Read it, Daddy."

I would fumble and say, "Well, it says, "Once upon a time..."

She: "That's not what it says!!"

Me: "Well then, you tell me what it says."

She: "Daddy, you silly, I can't read!"

It might work best to pair dyslexics with dysgraphics, unless the letter is sent to an aphasic.

Actually, that sounds a lot like the health care bill. Ba-dum-bum.

I'll stop now.

I don't care how it's written - what are they saying?

It doesn't help they've given up teaching penmanship in the schools.

Maybe I should apply for a job; I have considerable experience interpreting my own handwriting.

Unless more than a day has passed...then it's impossible.
