(YES, even) my job can be funny.

From the category:“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.”:








Well...could have been worse. Good thing it wasn't "Hello!"




"And was strooooling trough the park one day,
Where I saw a lot of Nazis and KKK”)))




Damn! Those grammar books that I used as coffee holders during college never did advantage me.




As the great Roman Jakobson would say, WTF ?????




Hmmm...Even Google translates more logically, and it is a damn robot.




No drinks or sexual arousement allowed. Kind of boring..ha?





After hearing the phrase "liar liar pants on fire",pathological liars thought it would be safer to hang around the biggest swimming center in the world. Unfortunately, it seems that the Chinese authorities have caught on to them!!





FRESH = CORRECT (English), CARP (FISH) = CRAP (FISH) (in some languages) CORRECT. The worst possible combination = PRICELESS





Environmental protection vs. voodoo






I love it when things that technically are correct lead to the biggest mistake of your life. Hence the word ... verify.






The robber special. Includes happy hours.





HMM...I'm pretty convinced that the translator was on drugs at this one.





Apparently there is a country, where molluscs are used as ID cards. Remember to take a big wallet with you in case you go there.



AND THE WINNER (OR IN THIS CASE,LOSER), DEAR FOLKS:




When Confucius said “Sincerity is the way of heaven”, I don’t think he had THIS in mind…

Just for fun...

After such 'deep' thoughts in the first couple of posts, I decided to lighten the mood up a bit in here for a change. The following post, which I found on www.boardofwisdom.com, a web site that I can truly recommend, made me laugh myself to bits. Enjoy!


------------ The Paradox Of The English Language-----------------

There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither
apple or pine in pineapple. And while no one knows what is
in a hotdog, you can be pretty sure it isn't canine.

English muffins were not invented in England nor French
fries in France.

Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't
sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are
square, and guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of
booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, two meese?
Is cheese the plural of choose? One mouse, 2 mice. One louse,
2 lice. One house, 2 hice?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian
eat?

Why do people recite at a play, and play at a recital?
Ship by truck or car and send cargo by ship? Have noses
that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive
on parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a
wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

How can the weather be hot as heck one day and cold as
heck another? When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill
in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by
going on. You get in and out of a car, yet you get on and
off a bus. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when
the lights are out, they are invisible.

And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I
wind up this essay, I end it?

English can be such a silly language sometimes ... it doesn't know if it is
coming or going!!!
