OH REALLY IS IT?

It's shocking the myriad of stupid things you come across, here is today's tiny little discrepancy:


The offending line is part of a much larger email signature about the planet and not printing things and how things people say are their own opinion. Redacted because I like my job, but I still really hate email signatures like this. It's like being given a lecture about things you don't care about... like most lectures.

Blind Black Man on the Bus

Yesterday, an ageing blind black man in a beret boarded my bus. I was reading a book and didn't see him at first (and he was never going to see me) which resulted in me being hit by his stick.

The driver asked him a lot of questions about where he was going to be getting off and told him to take as much time as he needed to find his bus pass. When he found his pass he was already sitting down, but waved the pass around in the air at nobody in particular anyway.

Then he sang the blues.

An Asian woman at the back of the bus was so moved by the attention that the driver gave this man that she leapt to her feet and ran to the front, proclaiming in broken Engrish: "Mr. Driver! You are the best! You are the best driver in the world. You tell your boss, I say you are the best!"

America is weird.

I LOVE PUNS...

... and when you see a character with a heart as steely as state prosecutor uses one, well you have to wonder if they meant to.
Magistrates banned her from driving for two years, and imposed a two year conditional discharge.
She was told: “This sentence is well outside of the guidelines, but we are imposing it in light of the mitigating circumstances, and hopefully you are now on the road to recovery.”
hehe: full story - Drunken Cornish fool drives pissed

Adverts in Bad Taste

You have to love the coincidences, not the best one of these ever seen but still made me feel bad uncontrollably amused.
