A truck loaded with thousands of copies of ROGET'S THESAURUS crashed yesterday losing its entire load. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, and dumbfounded!

taken advantage of; screwed; groped; have their insurance ripped off; shot at with a gun; sexually harassed; racially harassed; homophobialy harassed; (fill in the blank) harassed; forced to have unwanted babies; ordered to take their mask off; stand in a group and cough; have their vote suppressed; and swear an oath to Fat Donnie...
