[QUOTE=Sophistry and Illusion] You cannot convince me that wasn’t a MadLib. [/QUOTE] Oh it’s real. The sad part is, after I read it, laughed for ten minutes, and sent to me team and several friends, I left it pretty much as is 'cause it’s grammatically correct and the audience would understand it. [sigh] ---

We just got some cheap, knock-off Breathe Right strips at Target. Having never used anything like them before, my husband read the instructions. Our favorite line: “Ensure that the strip is tangent to the nasal flare.” ---

My daughter once informed me that she wouldn’t be eating vegetables any more because she wasn’t a vegetarian. Of course I asked her what she was instead and she proudly proclaimed herself a meatitarian. You just can’t argue with logic like that. ---

> [@](#): > > For all horizontal slab surfaces, bull floating shall be done before bleeding occurs. Use a darby at all edges of slabs. Do not use a fresno before bleeding is complete. No jitterbugging will be allowed without approval of the pavement engineer. Oddly enough I understand this. Bull floating should be done before bleeding occurs because otherwise the surface of the concrete will be rocky like a sidewalk, not smooth like a garage floor. A darby should be run across the edges to apply a nice round surface so the edges do not chip. If a fresno is used before bleeding is complete the groove will be rough and jagged. And, if the load is expected to be quite heavy then the concrete should not be jitterbugged as this will make it very brittle and subject to cracking (but smooth as glass), only the pavement engineer would know for sure. - Nate (who probably knows more about concrete then he should, but not near enough to do any good) ---
