Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won’t buy, but have you ever tried to buy them without money?

Employment applications always ask whom to call in case of an emergency. I always say ‘an ambulance.’

The last sign reminds me of last week at work. I put on my name tag and my boss told me it was upside down. So I said, “I wondered why I could read it.” 🙂

Once when I was a little girl, my big brother gave me a silver pendant watch on a chain for my birthday. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen and I wore it proudly all the time. But of course it was constructed so that the person wearing it could actually, you know, look at it and tell what time it was, so other people were always asking me “How come your watch is upside down?” Apparently they thought the purpose of the watch was to tell everyone other than the wearer what time it was.

I had one of those in the 1970’s and loved it. I’ll never forget how it broke. I was taking off a sweater and it came off at the same time, crashing to the floor. I still have it in a jewelry box.

Yum – nothing like eating fricasseed customers while sitting in a tub full of gravy located on 71th st (which I heard was wet from some rain.) It’s a perfect beginning for meeting with Sponge Bob to get the job of proof reader for WallyWorld – unless you’re ticketed for stopping at the stop sign.

These are great! As an adjunct instructor to college students, I was startled when the school opened a new classroom building and the restrooms were labeled “mens” and “womens.” J.

With all the unemployed English majors out there, you’d think they might have hired one to proofread their signs for them.

It never fails to amaze me that so few actually stop to proofread or spell check what they put on signs. 😄😬

Brians, brains, bombs… if only people would hire an unemployed English major to proofread for them, we wouldn’t have to make these difficult choices.
