    It gets fun when the side thought is longer than the original and starts getting side thoughts of its own. The context needs more context or nobody will get it.

    I do this so much at work and have to constantly remind myself not to overdo it (otherwise people will think I’m crazy).

      I’ve learned to back off and realize that commas, instead of parentheses, often work just fine.

      Occasionally replace the parenthesis with a semicolon – or dashes – and you can get away with it more often.
