Susan and I are huge fans of signs with missing/burnt out letters. Over the holidays, we captured (using a camera phone while driving past at 55 MPH - she took the pic while I was driving) a Self Storage place off the Hollywood Freeway. The caption was "So that's where Santa keeps them for the rest of the year!"

Social worker fail

Got a call from the nursing home social worker:

SW: I'm following up your call last week about long-term care for your mother. I know she went back to the hospital before coming back to us but she doesn't seem to be here right now, did she go back to the Hospital?

Me: No, she passed away in your facility last week

SW: oh, I'm sorry to [lengthy appogy]. So we have some of your mother s things, there's a tennis shoe but I can't find the mate.

Me: that's because her leg was amputated.

Rather tame, but it amused me none-the-less.

For those who haven't heard the news, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down this morning. I heard it on KNX 1070 (local news radio station) on my way into work at around 8:30 ish. Later, on the same station, they played an obviously taped report from Charles Osgood at around 8:50ish talking about "since Mobarack didn't step down, what will today be like in Egypt?"

Somebody at the station needs to be listening what is going out on the airwaves!

I almost hate to post this as the poor girl just couldn't get the words out.

An update:

Quote:

CBS 2 News in LA remained quiet regarding what happened to Branson, but eventually released this statement, which contradicts earlier reports she had been hospitalized:

"Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home and she says that she is feeling fine this morning."

Not nearly as much of a fail if she had a stroke, but that could certainly explain it.
