a sad day’, as Marcus O’Riley would have said, at least he would’ve
until we fired his sorry ass. It was not his insufferable rudeness
that did him in, nor his propensity at mangling the English language.
No, and let this be a lesson to all you young people out there, but

In closing,
as Marcus would have said, had we not fired his sorry ass, ‘Well,

Except
now it’s just Goodnight.
