P.S. - ing

I have a problem with people doing "P.S." at the end of their emails or other messages through computer. Maybe they dont know the history behind it so I decided to educate them now.
P.S. = Post script.
P.S. was used in letters after the signature of the writer to mention anything which the writer might have forgotten in the letter, or something which was out of context of the letter.
Now when we are TYPING an email, cant we just make the cursor go back and edit it. Ladies and Gentlemen that was the point of inventing MS word v.s. typewriters. Well, that and many other reasons. BUT the point is... In the age of e-mail, postscripts have become unnecessary. SO STOP USING THEM IN E-MAILS! And if u really love "P.S" so much, write us letters with pens! or if u really wanna get the feel of olden times, how about a scroll and bird feathers and ink bottles. That'll do it. Yup!

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

In my case it would be "Hunger is the Mother of Franchise"
So one fine evening I start having cravings for a pizza! yum yum. But then I didnt want to eat pizza alone in my room, I wanted to watch a movie as well, but I had already seen all the movies at home. I felt like ordering a pizza while watching an exciting movie with the lights off! A total home theatre feeling you know...
I was still thinking about this when I came up with a brilliant idea that there should be pizza stores which rent out movies as well. Where when u call up u can say something like,
" Ohh, can I have a large pizza with ground beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, hot pepper, green pepper and with four pops and two dipping sauces, along with a terminator 2 movie please?"
And the next thing you know after 20 minutes: a large pizza, 4 pops, 2 dipping sauces, and 1 movie is at your doorstep.
This is a million dollar idea. Do you realize how convenient that is? And people pay like crazy for convenience! Places like Blockbuster would go out of business if this starts. So when time comes to start my own business, and this idea is still not taken by anyone, I'll be the one who would start it. I'm serious! Take it while you still can, I'm giving you a 5 year head start.
I've even come up with a name. PIZZOVY. Well, I thought of "Pizzovie" before as in PIZZa + mOVIE, but then I thought of having a phone number and for that "pizzovie" wont do. Our phone number would be 416 piz-zovy. So convenient!
I've even thought of our logo. It would be a film strip coming out of a pizza. And on the film strip it would say PIZZOVY! And I'm a creative genius, thank you very much.
