Hey, everyone in the world – could you not ever again say something has Jumped the Shark? That would be great.
Sad when a clever means to express something having gone beyond goes beyond, but there you have it. I'm weary of the shark jumping. I want the next person responsible for me seeing or hearing that phrase to be eaten by a shark after Henry Winkler throws them into the tank.
That is all.
