Post by jsluder »

From rec.humor.funny:
Poster on the door of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's music building:


TUDOR WANTED!


WILL PAY $15.00 PER HR FOR HELP WITH USING: FINALE '03.


(Sigh. What is education coming to these days?)


Graffiti on poster:


STUARTS ALSO CONSIDERED.


(Oh. OK.)

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Just inside the entrance to the Engineering School at the University of Virginia there used to be a big sign:

Perspective students report to Room 101

it was there for years, too; I suspect they didn't want any students who knew how to spell prospective studying engineering.

That's a redundant USENET address.
Is there a rec.humor.notfunny?

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Reminds me of a sign outside of a local apartment building touting the many wonders of one's potential domicile. Part of the list of perks reads:

"Distinct Woodwork"

...as opposed to vague, I suppose?

Like the commericals with the three "easy" payments. Opposed to complex payments. I heard that somewhere but can't think of where.

Heh. I recently saw a real estate flyer for a house that listed "Wood Rapped Windows" as one of the selling points.
