Current liability

The 'electrician' had one job: to fit a power outlet in Ellie J's old house. And Tom L was there to capture the moment.

Even the socket itself looks shocked at the topsy-turvy attempt.

I wish I was in Dixie

Lucky Dixie.

But perhaps a little presumptuous.

Prince Of Denial

In its coverage of the meeting in Ireland between Gerry Adams and Charles Windsor last month, The Washington Post made an interesting observation.

Non-moving stock

You'd think that, if you ran an online business specialising in a certain type of product, you'd know how to spell it correctly.

Correction imperfection

Thanks to Ann F for sending me this pearler which appeared in the Toronto Sun.

Carter bah

After taking this photograph, public-spirited Ray T contacted the AA to let it know that its sign is pointing to what sounds like a medieval haulage company specialising in big loads.

Claim shame

New Jersey residents were somewhat taken aback last month when they called a telephone service that had been set up by the New Jersey Attorney General's Office.

The number was provided to help people claim against overcharging on their phone bills.

But the unexpected responses when the advertised number was dialled include, 'Want to get kinky one on one?' and 'Do you want to meet my girlfriends in the orgy room?'

Although callers were hoping to claim against overcharging, it seems not a little ironic that they'd be charged a premium rate for their call.

Income taxed

I understand the logic and I can do the maths without a problem.

But the € to $ conversion? In my head?

Hey, I'm not a genius.

These boots were made for balking

I'm not an expert. Are they really that bad?

Coconut shy

The Meadowbank Countdown store in Auckland, New Zealand had some explaining to do on Tuesday when a customer alerted its staff to the special offer it was promoting.

MacMallpractice

Thanks to Trev L for this one.

It looks as though MacMall has been taking marketing advice from our friends at Tesco.

Under Porsche's spell

Dennis A tells us that, when his Porsche came back from the Dubai repair shop, the owner was a bit surprised to see that at least one unforeseen change had been made to his car.

Still, he should be glad that the cars use only the shortened version of the company name.

Imagine what a mess they'd have made of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG.
