I have a kind of passion about languages in general, and indeed, the use of words in particular.... I mean to say, in Spanish, "esposa" means wife, but the plural form (could mean wives if one has several - which I guess in some circles is possible) - but - "esposas" also translates as "handcuffs"... aye, let's say no more on that folks! LOL (Bill awaits the inevitable ear-bashing from the ladies on the forum !!!)
Anyway - the one I enjoyed today was this - A newspaper editor was looking for a headline regarding a 4-foot 11-inch clairvoyant who had escaped from jail - they came up with this -
Short medium at large
Well, it may be old, but it was a new one to me, and I just found it funny....
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

That was funny BillyG!
I love those word things too. I don't know much Spanish . I do understand taco and burrito.No great surprise. 4'11" is short. Reminds me of the time I got my height wrong on an insurance document. Maybe I'm slightly dyslexic. I'm 5'10" and I wrote that I was 10'5" tall.......needless to say they called me.

I seem to always fill in the blanks wrong! Maybe that is why I have issue with forms and always forget the easiest things I should know.I also could not figure out:
1. Why what I thought it was was on the application. Then I thought, maybe it is for a sanitation job someplace with a sense of humor!
2. Then I could not figure out why it looked like a three letter word and could not figure what three letter word needed the expletives. So, that put me back to #1.
My mind works in mysterious ways.
No worries LOL. All age groups here. What I would like to know is where do you get all of those cool emoji from? I had no idea there were so many of them. I had not seen the TP one. I guess it comes in handy occasionally. I think Fiddlerman has the largest collection of emoji anywhere. Look here's a bunny dancing-
Where else can you find that? The bagpiper is pretty cool too
Oh and let's not forget Halloween-
