Thanks for the laugh.

I think one of the funnies one's I saw personally was a blurb at the bottom of a menu in a restaurant.

"Good food takes a while to prepare, yours will be ready in a minute".

Gee ... thanks.

My husband and I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Thanks. Wish I knew how to forward it to my father and some of my friends.

It's official, proofreading is DEAD and has been for some time. Just read an online article from the Miami Times - talking about "costumers" of a store. While it was a clothing store, I believe the word they were searching for was "Customers". And don't even get me started about what you see on the news stations on TV.

It isn't just the print. I laughed listening to the weather man talking about a rain storm coming. He said if it moves into the area we will get rain if it doesn't we won't. REALLY!!

We had an article in our paper about an elderly woman who wanted some downed trees taken off her property and the headline was : "83 year old woman wants limbs removed "!! I saw that in the morning paper and just about spit out my coffee!
