Bad time to be working in the undeliverable mail department if this practice gains traction.

A former boss of mine used to say “coopulate” when they meant “cooperate”.

I know someone in South Florida, who, while in a funeral cortege, was directed to go through a photo red light by motorcycle policemen managing traffic.

Especially the tag bundles.

“Are you scooping what I’m pooping?”

Drill sergeant asking recruit if he understands what he has just been told.
