They should enforce a spellcheck program too - mobili-s-ation and civili-s-ation. That or get a keyboard with a "z" key that works.




Unless of course that is a european spelling in which case -
as Gilda Radner put it - nevermind.

If they are cursing in Chinese, who would know? Or has the influx of pirated American movies and gangsta rap made "fuck" the most heard word on the streets?

I once got a cookie fortune that beats all of these. I carried the thing around in my wallet until the paper disintegrated.

"Toreador pants are something that make your feet look big too."

I later found the Zippy The Pinhead strip with that line in it.

Life was not merely imitating art, it was copying it word for word.

Firefly fans.

Little Pete's fencing coach told her he'd teach her some choice Hungarian, french, Russian, and Italian so she could plant the seed of doubt in directors heads when questionable calls are made.

I can see how curses and oaths, in a foreign language, spat out by someone holding a weapon, would be unnerving.

It also makes them wonder if the kid can understand them conspiring to cheat in their native tongue.

The directors would be foreign and of the same nationality? Are we talking about international competition here?

That reminds me of the one I got the other day..... "your bills are your bills and your partner's bills are your bills"

Even my fortune cookies are trying to give me relationship advice.
Holy!

My favorite: "you are the apple of my eye."
My fortune cookie actually hit on me............Awesome! But I ate it. *Sorry cookie*

"Pink will be your new favorite color."

"It's never to late to learn."

I have both of these laminated in my wallet, but I'm too lazy to post a picture of them.

I used to get some crazy ones, and from all over, it was a trend for a while.
My favorite was, and this was all, with no lotto numbers on it.
"The end is near".

We usually just call him "The Fag."

His work (not relationship) partner is usually "The Fatman."

They write themselves onto the duty board that way.

British English has those spellings. Both are acceptable here, but the 's' spelling is started to be replaced by the 'z' spelling. To me, 'civilisation' looks more correct that 'civilization'. Though I sometimes use the 'z' spelling.
