Which is funnier? The Muffin Buns debate roars on

Sorry for the bad mood the last couple of days (see post below for details). All better now.

Had this conversation on the phone today with Keith Sharon, the Editor for Alive in Wonderland: (if you haven’t read Thursday’s column then: a.) you’ll have no idea what I am talking about, and b) shame on you!

Keith: What’s wrong with the column now, what did I do?
Suz: What?
Keith: You usually only call when I’ve done something wrong.
Suz: No, that’s not why I’m calling. Well, one thing, it’s Muffin Buns, not Muffin? Buns?
Keith: What?
Suz: In the story, you changed it to Muffin? Buns? and it should be Muffin Buns? You know, my guess at the dog’s name.
Keith: Does it matter. I thought you forgot a question mark. Muffin? Buns? is just as funny.
Suz: Ummm, not really Muffin Buns is much funnier. It’s like five, the number five is much funnier than four or six.
Keith: How about one word? Muffinbuns?
Suz: Oh, I know, how about intercapped? MuffinBuns?
Keith: That’s not funny. One word IS funny, Muffinbuns. (Which, by the way, Larry suggested too.)

Sadly, the conversation was much longer than this…I’m not even sure what he did…let me check…be right back…

He didn’t change it at all…still Muffin? Buns?…still funny (but not as funny as Muffin Buns).

Thanks Keith for talking me down today. Also, a big thank you goes out to my friend Jill, who also joined in the “everything is going to be just fine” crescendo that finally turned my attitude around.
