Window treatments. Um, is the window sick? Does the window really care how it looks or feels?

Made my mom giggle.

We need all parties to come to the table. A favorite of politicians these days.

Common among the teens... and spreading fast. A sad attempt to pronounce 'wretched'...

or your sad attempt to spell "wretched"? [[retched is the past tense of retch as in vomit and it pronounced like "etched")

23 skidoo, oh wait a minute, maybe that's gone.

**rb336** · May-26-13, 10:21 PM

now that's funny

Sadly typing is not my strongest area. Thank you kindly for the correction, I will revise. My original point stands however.

BTW, regarding your post, that would be "it is pronounced..." not "it pronounced..."

That is on the same shelf as «Jeepers, Creepers» historical expressions category, a bit dusty but flavorful.

The archetypal catch-22, as formulated by Heller, involves the case of John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier, who wishes to be grounded from combat flight. This will only happen if he is evaluated by the squadron's flight surgeon and found "unfit to fly". "Unfit" would be any pilot who is willing to fly such dangerous missions, as one would have to be mad to volunteer for possible death. However, to be evaluated, he must request the evaluation, an act that is considered sufficient proof for being declared sane. These conditions make it impossible to be declared "unfit".
The "Catch-22" is that "anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy".
