LOL! So good to start the day with a smile, Sylvia. Thank you.

That's what happens if you employ journalists who passed their courses with supplementary exams...

Jack said...

A very funny list, Sylvia. I can imagine that several of these would get past the proofreaders. But not eagle-eyed readers like you and me!

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

These are even funnier read aloud (as I just did to Bill)! Thanks.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
