I would probably hang around and ask if they needed a hand with what they were doing...
Just a hand?:-P That's why they're masturbating in the first place.;-)

Quote by ChrissieLecker
The time spent with those we love or have grown close to will forever be too short. Sometimes, we see the footsteps they left in the sand of our lives, and when we consciously walk in them once more, they don't fade. If we do that, we can feel that those who touch our heart never really leave us.

I own my own house on an acre of rolling property. I am currently trying to sell this house so that I can buy another on a five acre parcel. Apparently, my fiancé wants to move in with me too... I don't know why though... I snore!!!!

Now I feel bad. The thing that's too easy to forget in conversations like this is that being able to parse a sentence isn't even in the same league as making the language sing or reveal pictures or feelings that speak to a stranger. This is the kind of stuff that intimidates most people about writing.

I know you can go and find places on the internet where it says leather is an adjective, but I'm not convinced. Here's why:
According to the dictionaries I used for Uni, which is the great big Oxford dictionary in two volumes that weigh about 5kg each, leather can either be a substantive (which is a posh word for a noun) or a verb.
Nowhere does it say it's an adjective.
The way I see it, in the case of leather sofa or leather handbag leather is part of the essence of the thing. I get where people are coming from, so you start off with sofa, which is definitely a noun, so you're assuming that when you stick leather in the front it must be an adjective.
Imagine instead of a sofa it's a cow. What sort of cow? An Hereford cow. Hereford isn't an adjective is it. Leather is performing the same function grammatically as Hereford. A leather sofa is a sofa made of leather, a Hereford cow is a cow from Hereford.

I will gladly bottom & enjoy it if the cock is of A normal or average size. However I've had that Big Hard over sized cock. No I didn't enjoy it. It hurt like hell.If your hung like that, no way am I letting you get on top. As Clint Eastwood said " A mans got to know his own limitations"
By the way I don't like correcting people's grammar but the word is definitely.
Quote by ChrissieLecker
"leather" is a noun. "leathery" is its adjective.
"one by one" is a modifier that, depending on how you look at it, further refines either the verb (describes how they stopped by) or the whole of the image described in the sentence, so its both semantically and syntactically correct position would either be next to the verb or at the very end. It could only have its natural position at the beginning of the sentence if it modified the subject, which it doesn't. That you'd (correctly) put a comma after it means that you'd stick in a flag that says, "Non-standard structure here, beware!"

Consider yourself at least partially shot down ;)
Two rules of thumb: only put a comma between consecutive adjectives if you could change their order without impacting the meaning. Posessive determiners are never followed by a comma.
The comma between "cramped" and "workmanlike" is a bit of a gray area and depends on how fixed of an expression you see in "workmanlike efficiency". There's no question about the "supervisor's", see above. The one after "unused" is a no go, as "unused" is the adjective and "leather furniture" the noun. The commas around "one by one" are optional. Without commas, the expression takes the place of a plain adverb, whereas the commas turn it into something of an afterthought (proclaiming that it had originally been at the end of the sentence and moved forward.)
