Post-mortem Depression: and Other Maladies of English

?My wife?s brother was born with a congenial heart murmur.? ?Humans differ from other animals because we have disposable thumbs.? ?That guy is always talking out of the side of his neck.? Have you ever heard someone say something just wrong enough that you sort of understand them, yet you have to think about what you heard?

Couple these with some interesting pictures and you?ve got, ?Post Mortem Depression?
