Stupid Things

My wife has a "page-a-day" calendar that supposedly has 365 of the stupidest things ever said. Amazingly enough, quite a few of them aren't funny. But there have been some real gems. Here are a few of my favorites.

From a "New York City complaints hotline" bureaucrat:

Rat complaints have gone up, but we look at that as a positive thing, because more people know how to contact us now.

Yay rats!

From "The Titusville Herald" in Pennsylvania

Just to keep the record straight, it was the famous Whistler's Mother, not Hitler's, that was exhibited in the recent meeting of the Pleasantville Methodists. There is nothing to be gained in trying to explain how the error occurred.

Let's just say that the guilty party has been promoted to management and leave it at that. :)

And, my favorite...

From a sandwich advertisement at a cafe in Vancouver, British Columbia

Each special comes with small dink.

You've probably already guessed this, but "small dink" was the kindest of my many nicknames in grade school. Ah, sweet memories.

Happy weekend!
