I'm sick of getting crap like the below at the bottom of email messages. It's 2007.

Actually, in fairness, I guess I do like certain puzzles. However, it is already too soon for me to never again hear "Puzzle Master" (how does he endure this?) Will Shortz on NPR saying something like "complete the phrase with a seven-letter word which, when you transpose two vowels, becomes the name of a hygiene product."

Does that work, by the way? We have the expression "if I never hear x again, it will be too soon," but (a) can it be flipped around and (b) does the way I flipped it around work? Not that you people (i.e., my beloved readers) ever leave comments.
