My old friend Uncle Fitz -- oh, you'd know him as F. Scott Fitzgerald -- once said "An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke." Fitz was pretty much always high off his ass on Laudanum martinis, but he was right about the exclamation point. You might as well follow your sentence with a "Wocka, wocka, wocka," honk your big red nose, and shuffle sideways off the stage. In the age of the interwebs, the only thing worse than abusing the exclamation point is typing in all caps. I'm talking to YOU, MOM. I don't care how old you are.
