                            Could be, or maybe Mr. Tupper is a bully.

                            Martin was later hanged at a tupperware party.

                            Oh, I hate it when a Tupperware party turns into a hanging.

                            This neighborhood is too big for 2 tupperware hosts.

                            And what did Martin Tupper wear at the Tupperware party?

                            Did they remember to burp the seal on Tupper's coffin?

                              Of course there's a point - it's fun arguing about inane matters that adversely affect no one whatsoever.

                                The 'how' does not make sense.

                                Sounds okay to me. It is just a sentence structure not regularly used today. It is the more complete form, i.e. we normally just leave out the "how".

                                It sounds okay to me, also. But then again, I'm not a structure that is regularly used today either.

                                I thought it sounded ok. Maybe I go back far enough that the sentence structure doesn't bother me.
