A ‘better’ idea (well… )

Many years ago ME had cartoons of the famous ‘Chuck the muddle engineer’. Always something to chuckle.

How about a column with some of the immortal literary pearls we often see here.

E.G, as seen lately:

Q: …I broke 2 taps…the holes are through, not blind…

A: Before I begin, are your holes ‘through’ or ‘blind’…?

Tongue firmly in cheek, Hansrudolf
