I'm revising a draft of a manuscript that I'm preparing to submit for publication. Today as I was doing so, I completely lost any writing skills that I once possessed, and wrote a sentence, but couldn't quite figure out why it didn't look right. So, I IM'ed my friend for help.
Me: Question: Are you not supposed to start a sentence with 'Although'?
Friend: ummm, probably not.
Me: I just had to break up a run-on sentence. I started the second one with 'However' instead.
Friend: That works.
Me: Works for me. Although, what do I know?
Friend: lol
A little while later:
Friend: I wanna go to the bar later!
Me: Although, do we have time?
Me: Although, the bar does sound kind of fun
Friend: um....STOP THAT
Me: Although, no!
Me: Although, I'm just going to start every sentence like that, whether it applies or not.
Friend: Well, then later you can say "although I don't know why, [Friend] still shoved a barstool up my ass"
Me: Although, I don't want you to shove a bar stool up my ass
Friend: Well, take matters to prevent it.

Although, that made me laugh... :)
Although I don't want you to, shove a bar stool up my ass. Please.
Moving the comma gives it a fun new twist.
SS
hahaha!! And I love anonymous's comment. It's all in the comma, baby.
Although, don't you wonder what it would be like to have a bar stool shoved up your ass?
