Lemon. Wet. Good. - or - How to speak like Mitt Romney in 3 words or less [View all]


Mitt Romney has a problem. He doesn't really like descending to the level of the common man, speaking to them, breathing the same air as them, etc etc.

But he has to interact with them and somehow not come off as condescending or resentful. His campaign team of analytic linguists has finally devised a solution. Mitten's interactions with the commoners can be minimized by speaking in only nouns and verbs. Mittens thusly can devote more of his mental faculties towards car elevators, dog abuse, tax dodgery, outsourcing, and whatever else the hell he thinks about. Unnecessary filler like articles, prepositions, conjunctions, adjectives, etc. need not waste his valuable time.

Let's try a few examples:

Lemon. Wet. Good

Corporations. Are. People

Dog. On. Roof

Trees. Right. Height

Mormon. Draft. Exemption

Hair. Cut. Hi-jinks
