A Step Back…

…for now. Today I posted the following online messaage:

I forget where I found these irresistible groaners. If you’ve seen them before, just enjoy ’em again as I did! 😅

Er… Firady Floleis #? – oh, drat, here’s a quiz! 😬😃

Well folks, this double vision’s got the best of the Grammar Cop! She was off ‘sick’ during the past week, so instead of grammar goofs, here is…
