Me: “Can I please go to the bathroom?”
Teacher: “I don’t know, can you?”
Me: *craps pants* “Apparently so…”
You *can*, but you *may not*
Teacher: Yes.. IF, you can answer me these questions three. Question the first…
Vampire: Never mind.
I love this one, well done!
Technically for a vampire “can I come in is?” Is the correct grammar.
Hilarious…. I’m 51 years old now and I just wish that the school system back then tried to teach us things that were more practical. Instead I took English EVERY FUCKING YEAR from first grade until I graduated. Hell man, I showed up on my first day speaking English motherfucker.
That’s a yes then.
If you’re asking the asker if they can do the thing, you’ve turned the choice over to them rather than yourself. The vampire just has to say ″yes″ and then he can enter.
This is quite funny.
This is the modern day domesticated vampire.
The historic wild vampire would have snuck in unnoticed by turning into mist and sliding through the gap under the door, which constitutes an invitation because if they didn’t want nobody comin’ in they woulda sealed the crack under the door, duh.
The wild vampire would then have canned *her* and had alphabet soup.
#If only he, after millennia of life, had not eschewed common courtesy, he may have asked instead: “May I – please – come in?”
Somebody write a story based off of this.
In this instance it’s not pedantry. The vampire CAN NOT physically enter until he has permission. So it’s one and the same.
Mooooomm! She’s not playing faaair!
I am this person.
#but that he is first seeking then honoring consent from his target must not be secondary to the grammar joke.
He shot his shot.
