  • Stop the giggle guffaws

    Please take this seriously if you can: the constant giggling and guffaws is at best annoying but in fact diminishes the history you are trying to explain! It’s not silly circus antics that you are describing! Why are you constantly giggling? Are you wildly nervous? Stop it already, Roman Mars!
