Uncomma
I was just watching Parks And Recreation (only seven more episodes to go!). Here, according to the closed captioning--which I have on as I watch--is an exchange between Craig and April:
April: No, go away.
Craig: Watermelon, martinis, exposed brick, Keri Russell's hair.
April: Why did you just say those weird things?
April: Gross.
Craig: Please talk to my interns.
April: Fine. Whatever, I'll do it.
End of scene.
Then I realized what happened. He's not saying "watermelon, martinis," he's saying "watermelon martinis." The closed caption typist got it wrong. Is it too much attention to ask for them to listen to the meaning of the dialogue to get the jokes right?

We appreciate your support of civil rights. The hearing impaired should not suffer a lesser experience when the solution is so simple. (Note -this is not an absolute position- ask for things to be better, not perfect)
I think you're both batty. No person in their right mind would think of watermelon and martini as a single item. Whatever it may be, it's not a martini.
Next thing you know, LAGuy, you'll be demanding that UN interpreters change what is being said in order to bring about world peace.
That's kind of the point, isn't it?
