Warning

Seriously. This is a quote from a report on a backpacker that was murdered in Brazil. It's not meant to make light of a terrible tragedy, just to point-out when, especially with such a sensitive issue, it pays to think about the phrases you use.

Only read-on if you're not likely to be offended.

Quote

Police are still searching for her head, arms and the lower parts of her legs, which Mr Santos said he hid in a rural area outside town.

"We are going to be taken now to a London police station. From there my mum can get her head together..."

Unfortunate turn of phrase.

I was in a queue in a Chemist's shop once, when I overheard someone asking "Where do you keep the Toilet Rolls?"
The assistant replied "They're on the bottom shelf"
I couldn't stop laughing - the other customers must have thought I was mad



p.s. I did a quick search, as I was sure it must have been posted before? anyway here it is

Classic website names! Makes you wonder how people can't see it eh?

Here's a story from earlier this week about an unfortunate tourist phalling phoul of fonetic philtering!

There's a town in the North Island (NZ) called Whakatane. Now, as I mentioned somewhere - in Maori "Wh" is pronounced "f" and "a" takes on a decidedly "u" twang to it depending on what's around it. So, phonetically speaking:

"Whakatane" is pronounced "Fuka-tan-ay"

A tourist was in the library on the internet trying to find-out about accommodation and sights etc. but the American content filter was blocking everything because it kept hearing "F**ker" this and "F**ker" that!

Seriously?

Or what about when speaking goes wrong, as it so often and memorably does when under the expert guidance of Mr George W Bush...

Bush is awesome for comedy moments, which is not what one wants in a president!

I remember a friend bringing to school a book full of ridiculous quotes, one of which I remember being a minister saying "I have never had major knee surgery on any part of my body"
