    Decoded: Joe called me, and I felt bad, so I answered

    Tweet: C'mon @MajorInternationalAirline - when is this plane going to leave! 25 minutes parked at the gate!

    Tweet: The @MySillyTwitterHandle Daily is out! Featuring stories by @EllenShow -  www.noonewillclickthis.li

    Decoded: I set up this 'auto-tweeting daily summary' four years ago, and I forgot how to turn it off

    Tweet: @SuperstarAthleteFromProfessionalSports You stink! You are terrible! You don't know how to play!

    Decoded: If I were only fifty pounds lighter, seven inches taller, and actually possessed some modicum of athletic ability, I would be down balling at the YMCA over 40 league right now instead of sitting on the couch.

    Decoded: I really need to turn off my auto-tweeting of that idiot's blog posts
