I could use a laugh.
It's been a grim week,
and so a couple of funny tidbits in the inbox were a welcome relief,
and I thought I would share. The first is from my wife, who found
this
story on the About website about a clothing label that didn't
read quite the same way in French as it did in English (they are
in both languages because the American company sells their products
in Canada too). Here is the translation of the French portion,
the accuracy of which I can attest to:
Wash
with warm water.
Use mild soap.
Dry flat.
Do not use bleach.
Do not dry in the dryer.
Do not iron.
We are sorry that Our President is an idiot.
We did not vote for him.
That's what I would
call being sensitive to your market.
The second was from
another family member, who sent some great Dave Barry quotes about
things that took him more than 50 years to learn. My favourites:
Never,
under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative
on the same night.
People
who want to share their religious views with you almost never
want you to share yours with them.
You
should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests
that you think she's pregnant, unless you can see an actual
baby emerging from her at that moment.
Never
lick a steak knife.
Your
friends love you anyway.
Have a good week.
