Paring Mr. Jones to the White Courtesy Phone...

Well...I got confirmation this morning that my tax return will be to me no later than April 4 and whatever annual raise and bonus (if there even is bonus money this year) will be in my account either by March 14 or March 30.

I can feel the credit card shaking in my wallet now....

Uh, don't you mean "Paging Mr. Jones"?

I hate to think of you being pared.

Pared to a new Kilt if you ask me!

That's pair.

Definition of pare (verb forms: pared; pared; paring)
to cut, shave or remove (the outside) from anything

Now you understand my horror.

Oh, the vagaries of the English language!

Hey, the mispelling errors could have been far worse.

I got sent to the Headmasters Office in my private school in 8th grade when I had a series of unfortunate spelling mistakes on my geology test including stating that an explosion of magma through a weak spot in the Earth's crust was a "volcanic erection." I have no idea of what I was thinking that day, but considering my age it couldn't have been anything good.
