Ahhhhh...a small victory for all the frustrated English teachers in the world...if only he/she had listened in class...

Another personal fave is seeing "Only God can juge (sic) me" on someone's body.

What I want to know is, do we know for a fact that her pee is not sweet? She may be suffering from very high blood sugar which might be detectable in her urine, not to mention quite sweet to the taste for those who happen to love water sports!!! Don't misunderstand, I respect the most lovely Tyro as a frustrated English teacher tremendously, having done my share of substitute teaching in my youth!

As always TH1, your point is valid and well-expressed.

There was a great line from one of those movies about southern ladies. ("Fried Green Tomatoes" or "Steel Magnolias"?)

 

An old bird talking about her son's new girlfriend: "The kindest thing I can say is that all her tattoos were spelled correctly."

"Potatoe"

 

A minor slip-up by Vice President Dan Quayle hatched a frenzy and a long-running joke. Quayle led a spelling bee for sixth-grade students while visiting an elementary school in New Jersey in 1992. Working from an inaccurate flash card prepared by a teacher, he corrected William Figueroa, 12, when the child spelled "potato" on the blackboard – making the boy add an unnecessary "e" at the word's end.

 

Quayle would never hear the end of it. The media assault for this goof was truly relentless. The young Figueroa crystallized the effects of this incident on Quayle's public image when he said that it "showed that the rumors about the vice president are true – that he's an idiot."
