Mandatory Retail Work

Latrine is a fancy Frenchified name for a piss ditch.

I’m never getting my hair cut at a place that advertises “Family haircuts.”

Ever heard of the saying “cute as a button”? How is a button cute?

If there’s conditioning shampoo, isn’t only fair that there’s shampooing conditioner?

Heard on this reality show, a contestant say, “The hardest thing about snake hunting is finding them.” Hunting. Finding. Aren’t they the same…ah, nevermind.

If I were ruler of the world, I’d implement mandatory retail work for everyone. At least a year. The world would be a nicer place then.

Tried to explain to someone that I picked up by a rideshare at A Street in Culver City. They kept asking what the name of the street was.

“What’s the name of the street?”
“A Street.”
“I know it’s a street, but what was the name of it?”

And so on and so on…

If you say “parmesan” and “Papa John’s” the same way, we can’t talk to each other.

Super Bowl is not the same thing as Super Bowel.

Why is the viewing of a deceased person called a wake when that person ain’t awake?

I saw some signs marked “free” on various discarded items on the sidewalk. The “free” sign wasn’t needed.

Just saw a handwritten “homeowner loan” sign off the freeway. Why the fuck would I call that number?
