That was smart.

When you order something that is too large to fit into your mailbox, often the post office or UPS or whoever will do their best to disguise it somewhere. Like putting the box between a regular door and a screen door. Like this:
 
No one will ever know it's there!

Dunce Corner

We haven't visited the Dunce Corner for a while and that's a crying shame. Here is some idiocy for your reading pleasure:

Plague pronounces segue "seh-goo"

Mr. Ed spells square "sqware"

Overheard in Tartarus:
What's your sister Sue's name?

Dunce corner

Here's a feature we haven't done in a while. As a reminder, Dunce Corner is where we gather stupid things we've read and overheard in Tartarus.

Do the numbers need to be capitalized too?

The Return of the Dunce Corner

On our website - Little House on the Prarie

Also on the website - a page where all of the links, no matter where they were supposed to go, went to the same place

A google search for "Charrlets Web" 

A sign - "Comments or Complainsts"

A phone call made by the Zebra - "Hi, this is Elephant calling from Tartarus. Can I talk to the Zebra?"

New Feature - The Dunce Corner

We've been collecting these for a while and thought we'd share a few of the spelling, grammar, and other assorted errors some of our coworkers have made either in a public place or while dealing with a patron.

prisnor

"is be held" ... "at the meeting room" (this is part of a single run-on sentence actually posted on our website)

Sid Arthur (this was intended to be Siddhartha)

Thursday, August 31 (bear in mind, we're talking about the current year)

Twice this summer presenter's names have been misspelled on posters and in Press Releases that Shoes made.


This is only a highlight. As we encounter more we'll share them with you.
