I used to work for a huge, well known company.
Everyone who I worked with used the word "clearly" to preface every sentence.

For example..."Clearly, that cost should be amortized over 5 years".

So, I adopted that habit.

I would say "clearly" before everything, and let me tell you...I could out talk and out debate anyone.

Then, I started watching re-runs of the Beverly Hillbillies. I stopped using the word "clearly", and I started using a rope as a belt.

It was all downhill from there.

Thank you for listening.

3. Better downhill than uphill
Uphill is harder. Breathing becomes more labored. The muscles on the back of your legs start to twitch. You start bending over forward more and more and after a while your back hurts. I had no idea using rope for a belt helps. Could you clarify?

4. Clearly, you do not know what you are talking about...
BASICALLY.

I hate that fucking word.

5. The Beverly Hillbillies can teach you a lot
#1 Go out shooting for some food and be on the lookout for bubbling crude.

#2 Look for the recipe for Granny's Tonic and sell it on eBay (you may need to buy a still first)

6. Clearly, you need a dip in the cement pond...
The rope as a belt is a good idea, though.

8. Clearly, ya better watch out for Granny when she's got a bee in her bonnet.
Or a shell in her shotgun. Either is bad.
