engrish

god bless foreigners with a limited knowledge of the english language who are happy to give it a go. 30 something devout buddist lady came out with these gems today:

"I got a happy ending" after walking out of a meeting room with me where she thought she was in trouble

"I will swallow you" when organizing how she will get to the pub after work. follow perhaps?

these are stored away with the memory of her stating "you finally got someone in your team pregnant" in earshot of human resources. "someone in your team finally got pregnant" would have been far more accurate, but a good try nonetheless

and in other news today, the world financial crisis gets worse:

outraged. prepare for my first ever "when i was a kid" story. this is the bill for having my lawn mowed.

when i was kid 20 years ago this was a $2 job regardless of lawn size (and most lawns at the time were bigger then modern houses). here is my lawn, that bush is about waist height if that gives you a sense of scale.

this represents an increase of 2787.5% which is definitely not inline with inflation. im calling on the government to regulate these money hungry bastards. if they don't, i'll raise an army of younglings to put them out of business

in environmental news:

why the hell did i get a phone book delivered? does anyone use them anymore other then these guys?
