  1. I : am a : colon: : Aaaagghhhhh I wanted to be an exclamation mark :

    I’m also a thief:

    Oooh, not tremendously dignified, but lots of pun potential.

  3. Metro says:

    Ditto.

    I mean, I am also a colon–not a “ditto” mark.

    Consider the quiz stolen.

  4. raincoaster says:

    You, a dittohead? That would have been amusing.

    I’m a question mark, which includes this bit:

    “You excel in: Higher education”

    I guess is this is spot-on, assuming that by “excel” they mean “have been deeply mired in pursuits of higher education for close to a decade with no end in sight.”

    I’m also supposed ot get along best with the comma. Which suits me just fine. I certainly overuse them in my writing.

  7. I’m a colon, which explains why people think I’m full of s**t

    On the advice of counsel I have no comment at this time, except to remark that many waitstaff around town have always thought of me as a Dash.

  9. Philipa says:

    I’m a question mark, huh? What’s that all about??

  10. NIkita says:

    I’m a dash as well… This is hilarious: classifying people as punctuation marks!

  11. I’m a colon too, which I find oddly depressing.

  12. raincoaster says:

    Well, it’s not the most dignified association in the world, but what choice do you have? YOu could have been a period, and THEN the jokes would be truly tedious.
