Things that make you go, "Hmm."

Why do careless, carefree, and uncaring not mean the same thing?

 

Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

 

If an orange tree was to be grown on an aircraft carrier, would it produce naval oranges?

Offices should really budget for new keyboards and mice every quarter or so.

LOL, I guess I can imagine that. I don't really eat applesauce, so I don't know firsthand.

But, I'm gonna have to agree with RK on this one, new keyboards would probably be a good idea. 😄

Occasionally, in the software discussion groups, I will find myself trying to hit the "Close" button on a screenshot jpeg.  Not the Close button FOR the screenshot jpeg, but rather the one IN the screenshot jpeg.

 

Perhaps I have seen too, too many dialog boxes in my day...

I saw an ad recently (I added the bold/underline):

 

"Borrow up to $25,000 or more."

 

Up to OR MORE huh?

the last dozen Spam email that came throught he filter had the word 'cloud' somewhere in the sender's address.  Guess we know what that's good for.

I don't remember the name of the drug so I'll call it DrugX.  I just remembered the name:  Linzess.  There is an ad I've seen a lot lately.  At the end of the ad, they're doing the standard disclaimer and that includes the following:

 

Do not give Linzess to Children under 6.  Do not give Linzess to children 6 to 17 as this may cause problems.

 

So doesn't that pretty much mean Don't give to children under 18😉

Reminds me of the loan ads I hear on the radio around here.  "Borrow up to over $25,000!"

Following is a photo of the new self-service key making kiosk at my local Walmart.  There are two things to note:  "average price per key $1.33" and "Exact Payment - No Coins".  Anyone care to explain how to accomplish that?

I see your point is that it's impossible, but I'm suggesting what happens in reality.

Maybe they just keep your 0.67 as a tip?

Is there not a coin slot to go with the badly worded instructions?

Nope.  No coin slot--in fact it explicitly says NO COINS.
