a day in the life: don't believe everything you read...unless you want to laugh.

There are few things that make me laugh harder then when Jay Leno does the "Headlines" segment on The Tonight Show. To be honest I don't know if they are really that funny, if it's the way he reads them, or perhaps I simply take joy in other people's lack of intelligence.

I kid I kid.

But whatever the reason, every time I see it-without fail-I laugh. I laugh out loud. Alone. A lot.

Anyone who knows me, knows my sense of humor and therefore clearly understands why I think these are so funny.

For anyone who does not know what I'm talking about (I mean right now not in general because that could take years :-) I've included a few examples. These are real stories, ads, and headlines-PRINTED, (I'm assuming) proofread (ahhh how I would love to meet that person) and published. I have always wanted to find one. I never have.

Now, though they are not as funny as most of Jay's, in one day I came across both of the following...

The first is a Chinese food menu we have not looked at in ohh I don't know--ever.

(Unfortunately this is hard to read, and I am too tired to re scan it-so here it is...)

Item # 2 under "Some Hard to Find Items" is the following:

Subgum Wonton: fried wonton served on top of happy family...........$9.65

Huh. So for $9.65 I get fried wontons annnnnnd a happy family? So if our food shows up and the brother is hitting the sister do we get a free hot and sour soup?! Or god forbid mom and dad are fighting is our meal free?? And what do I do with said "happy family" after I eat my wontons from "on top" of them?? I mean what does that mean?

I should have ordered it. Maybe tomorrow.

The second is a spring order I recieved today from a new store in PA, pay close attention to the ship to address. I know we are in the middle of an economic crisis, but I may need to

be a bit more selective when accepting new customers.

No. I'm sure they are LOVELY people, just in a very (very) unfortunate location.
