For years, you know, one of my pet peeves has been, you know, people
who say "you know" every 7 or 8 seconds. And this isn't, you know,
limited to the, you know, uneducated, I've heard, you know, journalists 
and PhDs, you know, do it. I've fantasized about, you know, making a 
computerized "you know" detector that would blast an air horn whenever
somebody, you know, said it. Maybe that would, you know, break them 
of the, you know, habit.
