IS IT JUST ME?
Is it just me, or did you notice this, too?
1. An NPR interviewer asking an interviewee whether
he was filled with guiltiness.
2. Representative Anthony Wiener saying, “We need
to look at the entire totality of the problem.”
3. The movie theatre screen promo stating, “Concessions
are located in lobby.” (Kind of like saying, “The urinal is
located in the men’s room.”)
4. The disembodied voice-mail lady saying, “You may hang
up when finished.”
5. The large metal sign in the drive-through line at the Power
Company saying, “To provide faster service a bill stub will be
required at the drive thru beginning January 1, 1997,” which
means a lot if you’re still living in 1996.
6. The customer mentioning his “sparodic activities.”
7. A commentator reporting, “He was hung at midnight.” But
was he ever executed?
8. The attorney actually labeling a crime as “HEE-nuss.”
9. The transit system bus sign stating its destination as,
“17 Century Plaza.” Wow! Time machines DO exist!
10. A customer saying, “His remarks were derogatary.”
OK, so maybe I listen too carefully. What have you heard today?
Being an editor can be hilarious
