Can't make this stuff up

My wife, arguably the smartest person I know, just asked me if the Daily Show is on every day or just once a week. Great Scott, I’m living with Jessica Simpson.

So? Don’t keep us in suspense.
:smiley:

Reminds me of this thing I read in a magazine recently.

A group of people were talking about a new candy bar called “Strawberry Ripe”. And this girl asks, “Whats the big deal? Aren’t Cherry Ripes made from strawberries anyway?”
:smack: :smiley:

Given that the Daily Show is on Monday through Friday and not in fact, on daily, I think your wife is showing a skepiticism about the nature of media labels that Jon Stewart would admire.

Things aren’t always as they seem. In Australia there is a weekly magazine called The Women’s Day, and a monthly magazine called the Women’s Weekly.

Of course, you did mean Monday through Thursday, right? Odd that I never noticed the discrepancy before. Thanks for pointing it out!

I read a billboard recently that stated that $5.4 billion had been spent to arrest and imprision 5.2 million people for smoking marijuana. (not original wording).

I thought that the billboard probably didn’t send the message that the people who paid for it wanted it to-- yes $5.4 billion is a lot of money, but if it only takes $10 per arrest . . .
and then I remember that a billion is one thousand times a million, not just ten.

My Dad (who is otherwise pretty smart) once said to me, after I took a trip to New York and visited the Bronx Zoo, “Where is that, Brooklyn?”

They have a magazine all about the monthly?
:smiley:

I once asked a waiter what the soup du jour was, and he rolled his eyes and said, “the soup of the day.”

When they deliver it, do they leave it on the driveway?
