Thanks to Gabe Hartwig of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for posting this recently on Facebook.
You know who else needs copy editors? The New York Jets. And the Washington Post and the New York Times. And the St. Louis Cardinals. And drive-in movie theater managers. And Home Depot and manufacturers of “hoodies.” And CNN. And college athletic department ticket offices. And road paving contractors. And restaurants. And cake decorators. And baseball jersey manufacturers. And Time magazine. And sign painters. And cake decorators. And T-shirt designers. And baseball jersey manufacturers.
I took a chance yesterday and told a deli owner that tomatoe and potatoe were incorrect. Luckily she laughed and didn’t spit in my food. I tried to correct another deli that’s “open Saturday’s” but they just stared at me blankly. Maybe I should just shut up and eat.
If they can marry someone to a dog in India, it shouldn’t be so hard to marry an omelet. Problem is, once it starts turning green, does the new wear off the marriage? And how do you get rid of an omelet you’re legally attached to? You can’t just throw it away.
I’ll pass on the \chicke & fruit salad,\ too.
