A Fabulous Friday Funday!

A Fabulous Friday Funday!

a] look, Ad ran LL Wi Re ,

Why is it fabulous? Well, I live in the northeast part of the U.S., and it’s late October. Our normal temperatures are around 60 for this time of year, but we’ve been treated lately to temps nearing 80! And it’s Friday, the start of a weekend to end all weekends, because we’re in for three days of 70+ temps and sun all day long!

What’s not to love?

So, here for even more pleasure, I present to you some funny things I saw around the Internet this past week.

Let’s start with a loud AWWWW!

Thanks to Liz Rowland for this next one!

1154 Alcohol and calculus don't mix. Never drink and derive.

Why do I think of Milos Djukic with this one below?

| Alcohol & Fats ( It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. On Drug / two he of a | Lifes! Longe label conta amoul (1) certa evide: selen; forms deter and n (2 antic Some const antic Howe evide Tl] consi filed

I knew I should have paid more attention in French class back in high school!

Um, about that placement . . .

Happens a lot, doesn’t it? Gotta fill the word requirement . . .

Double Positive An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.” A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”

And my favorite for the day:

The nearest I can get to two positives making a negative is this exchange. How did he do? It was a P B (personal best) 1min 42secs Well done him, that was good for him. Meaning her son's P B was 10 seconds faster. I think it's called daming with feint praise.

And thanks for finding so much in the buzz to enjoy, Proma \ud83d\udc1d Nautiyal! Yeah, it's hard to see the bird once you've seen the rabbit on skis, isn't it?

I loved them all, Susan \ud83d\udc1d Rooks, the Grammar Goddess! First of all, once I saw the skiing rabbit, I couldn't find the bird again (at least for some time). That followed by the double positives, the essay on peas, the grammar doctor badge, and finally the mommy cat who ran out of toner, made my day. Thank you so much for the lovely buzz!

Yes, Aleta Curry, and once you see it that way, you can't unsee it! A really good metaphor for how we view life, isn't it? Some see the bird, and others see the rabbit. Some see both.

Oh, Ken Boddie! I don't know what I'd do without you weighing in on my Friday Funday posts! You always make me laugh! Thanks so much.

Another great collection Susan. While two negatives might make a positive, two wrongs don't make a right (but three lefts do).

Kittens on the nipple, Looking for their tipple? Racoons taking fright, When the light's too bright? Bunnies on skis? Come on, please! Elephantine jokes, By happy hippo folks? Dietary ills, And a language that kills? Funny though they be, They're all too tall for me. So please don't think me trite, When I say "yeah, right." But, seriously, Susan, I'm not cruisin' for a bruising', Just don't know what I'd do, On Fridays without you.
