    Oh my! A leaking elevator! Or just a veeerrrry slooooow one? Best to visit the rest room before pushing the button!

    I saw a poster in Wales this summer announcing "Stoned Baked Pizzas". I wonder if the bakers threw stones at the pizzas, or were drugged when they baked them, or maybe put more herbs than just oregano on them, or ...

    I also found
    "during the arrival and departure of the Hyatt"

    amusing. Really? The hotel is arriving and departing? What if it's not back yet when I need to check in?

    Sometimes, the simplest of things are the most difficult.

    I've been re-writing copies of our web pages which I'm coding... I'm just so numb... So I can understand these idiotic mistakes. And sometimes spell checks can be very dangerous.

    Good laugh though...
