As one wag suggested, many years ago, the only thing more revealing than a Freudian Slip is a Paternity Suit.

Ba-bump-bump...

I showed the original post to my wayward son and he laughed and said he was going to get a tattoo of an ox on his right buttock. That way, he could have a right butt ox.

A sign in a local dollar store reads as follows:

Everything is a $1 dollar!

I have to assume that the sign was supplied by the Department of Redundancies Department.

Hmmm...on second thought, I guess that a zero expenditure probably equals zero expectations.

In City Data's NJ Forum, a member is asking whether people would prefer Chris Christie or Cory Booker for POTUS in 2016.
He also wonders whether he should conduct a "pole" on this issue.

I can't find the post now, but the other day I noticed one here on c-d that asked if anyone had any "incites" about her situation.

You can't make this stuff up.
Those writing the signs know when they are unsure about a word. Instead of being diligent when in doubt they don't bother going for a dictionary....they just scratch a hap hazard message..With texting...there is more to come........ eg. Nt wrkin sri fr thu incunvenense... Who said we need language anyway- what was wrong with grunting and growling?
