    Very casually pull out your gun. Don't point it at anyone, but let it be seen.

      (Sigh.)  You just don’t know how this stuff works. I have an entire system going here.

    Forgive, but if it's 2 ladies arguing/fighting, just make yourself a plate of sandwiches, sit back, and enjoy.

    You keep circling back to the part where you have me making my own sandwiches!  That’s just not done around here!  Grrrrrrr.

    Normally I'd say send out for some, but these days that might not be too prudent.

    (not to be sexist, but 99.9% of the workers in the sandwich shops around here are women.)

    (not Not)

    It’s not sexist. Who do you think I have making all of my sandwiches?

    According to 'Microsoft Word', capitalization is optional inside a parenthesis, except for proper nouns.

     That‘s only correct when the entire passage inside the parentheses is part of a sentence that has already been started (for instance, this one), a sentence which itself starts with its own capital letter. 


    What you wrote, however, was a completely separate sentence inside of parentheses, so it’s the fact that it’s a stand-alone sentence that requires the first word to be capitalized. 

    Here‘s an example: assume that what I wrote below is one page one of chapter one of a novel. 


    (The following story is based on true events.)  Exbel County was incorporated in late 1791 after the surprise financial success of its founders, a family that operated both a local mill and a rock quarry. 


    It would be grammatically incorrect to begin it as:

    (the following story is based on true events.)


    What you read in Microsoft Word is not incorrect, I doubt however, that it specified whether or not it referred to parentheses that began either a page or a paragraph or a line.

    Ask you to choose,
    or assign them shifts.

    Sounds like a great idea!  Before I break it up, however,  I have to wait until they tire themselves out first; if I get in there too soon, I might get clocked.

    LOL!
    And besides, you might get double the sandwiches if they keep making while slinging insults.

      You know, you’re right!  There’s no reason this can’t be a win-win!
