Snicker Worthy Tidbits, and more books..

September 11th, 2008 No comments

Just a few things that made me snicker recently.

1.  An email from the speed dating site titled, “Doggy Style Speed Dating” — advertising a speed dating event where you bring your pet dog along.  Now, the idea is fairly decent and amusing.. The naming however caused me to bust my nose snorting…   I think someone raised an eyebrow because the next time they advertised it they changed the name..

2.  A consultant in a recent business meeting asking for a report, specifically an “Analytical Analysis.”   I believe that I need to file this consultant under “Redundant Redundancy.”

3.  Someone asked me what happened to a coworker, who had been delayed in the cafeteria.  Completely deadpan I said, “Sorry.  Chupacabra.”

On a different note, based off of recommendations from both Oshi and Murnkay, I’ve picked up “World War Z” — chilling book.  Great book.  Worthy read.  And its got zombies.  O sht zmbes gtfo fire l8r.
