I saw a package for a dust mitt at the grocery store that said: attracts dust like a "magnet"! I made fun of that package all through the store. Glad to see someone else has the same sense of humor (and is rubbed the wrong way by the damn quotation marks!)
I just saw your blog under blogs of note and could'nt resist. This is incredibly funny and never have I noticed what all these randomly used quotation marks could actually be implying. You have just chnaged my world. Thank you! Now I can get a good laugh "anywhere"!
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

This blog is pretty funny, I think I'll start visiting more often.
it appears that people are using quotation marks to emphasize words, unnecessarily, of course.

Maybe the National Organization for Women is actually hiring.
My "word". Exactly how "many" "people" use the "humble" '"' when they "should" not?
Don't they teacher "grammar" any "more"?
Great blog! "Thanks"!
