``Why should I get a life inspector?''

``Safety! You wouldn't buy a house without having a building inspector look through it, would you?''

I do another little silly dialogue which ... eh ... probably would have worked better if I'd kept it to 500 words, but I set 700 words as my arbitrary column length for these things so 700 words it is. I think the idea's underdeveloped, really, and maybe I should go back and try the same premise later. I'm not saying this to troll for 'aw, no, it's really good' commands --- honestly I'm not --- but trying to think what I can learn from it.  )

``You know, I should have suspected something about the Monopoly house when the seller insisted I roll doubles before closing.''

Trivia: The decision to whether it should be Rockefeller Center or Centre was given to Standard Dictionary editor and Words We Misspell In Business author Frank H Vizetelly, who determined that ``Centre'' had Norman-French roots, but ``Center'' was preferred by Shakespeare and Burns, with Milton using ``center'' in Paradise Lost and ``centre'' in Paradise Regained. His obituary in the New York Herald Tribune would spell his name with an ``s''. Source: Great Fortune: The Epic Of Rockefeller Center, Daniel Okrent.
