(Winner of Eight Pulitzer Prizers)
And, surely, this has got to be the ninth:
Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into a Hoquiam apartment and assaulted a man.
The victim asked, "Why are you carrying a weasel?" Police said the attacker said, "It's not a weasel, it's a marten," then punched him in the nose and fled.
Thanks to Laura for sending this gem in.
What????
ReplyDeleteMan, the world just gets stranger and stranger.
One of my facebook friends commented that this was a definite sign of the end times. I tend to believe her.
ReplyDeleteI am encouraged by the precise use of terminology.
ReplyDeleteYes. I wonder if it was Paul(A). He's the only person I know who is that pedantic.
ReplyDeleteIt helps to be precise, I guess.
ReplyDelete"Is that a marten in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"
ReplyDelete"carrying a weasel"
ReplyDeleteBoy, there's a euphemism the world's been waiting for! ;-p
Well, I'm a different Paul but were I in that situation I would insist on proper identification of species too.
