Today, I was eating with a friend while walking on the sidewalk. A couple of pigeons were bothering us so I threw a fry onto the street. As a flock of pigeons were gathering around the fry, a truck drove by. Only four survived. FML

This FML becomes hilarious if you move the punctuation around in the last two sentences: "... a truck drove by, only, four survived. FML"

It does make sense. What you mean is 'I don't understand'.

No, that sentence does not make sense grammatically.

You seem to be confusing a lack of comprehension on your part with a lack of grammatical correctness on mine.

No, that sentence does not make sense. Tell me what you are trying to say, because simply putting commas there isn't cutting it.

I hope/assume you've at least worked out my intended meaning, even if you will insist I've written it wrongly. "Only - With the unfortunate or negative result that." i.e, the flock of pigeons flew into the path on an oncoming truck, UNFORTUNATELY, four survived. Get it now? Subtle changes in the punctuation dramatically alter the tone, and thus the perceived meaning of a sentence. I could have simply added a comma after 'Only' in the OPs last sentence, which would suggest the correct tone, however, I felt it would read more naturally if I amalgamated the final two sentences.

It's not like there's a shortage of the ******* things. OTOH, sounds like you let Darwin select for the smarter ones. Not necessarily a good thing.

Why is FML for 12 year olds now. I mean "get the guts to spill the beans". Also what happened to the Flop FML's. Ya that is pretty funny in a way.

That's not an FML... Even if you didn't do it on purpose that was really a good deed !

Thank you! I'm terrified of pigeons. I feel like they're going to shit on me every time I see them flying.
