I have been urged to post, and thus I am posting. Unfortunately (mostly for you), I’m not certain I have anything to say at the moment. I can only wish whoever stumbles across this well, and provide a bit of levity (courtesy of my desk calendar) amidst the grim reality of exams and papers. And so, with many thanks to Richard Lederer and Anguished English, here is this week’s dose of adventures in the English language:
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, dance lessons will resume next week.”
“As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday, and employees will receive their cards in two weeks.”
“Life during the Middle Ages was especially difficult for the pheasants.”
“Yesterday we mistakenly reported that a talk was given by a battle-scared hero. We apologize for the error. We obviously meant that the talk was given by a bottle-scarred hero.”
“Eight candidates, including all four incompetents, are seeking the four City Council positions this year.”
Slán.
