|
|
|
It's been a wild day on the Texas Gulf Coast.
We had major flooding that no one expected. The weather guys said there would be thunderstorms and some "spot" flooding. Yeah. If the spot is a bridge stretching over a bayou that you have to drive over on your way home from work.
Safe at home, I tried to make dinner. The package cover for my meal had a little pull tab with the words "Easy Open" printed on it. I had to take a steak knife to get that plastic cover off.
This got me thinking about oxymorons:
Accurate weather forecast
Easy open
Jumbo shrimp
Military intelligence
Friendly fire
(Probably coined by someone endowed with military intelligence)
Pretty ugly
Happily married
Job security
Feel free to add your own

Remember a few years back when Bill Gates was demonstrating the new Windows program and it crashed? Too funny...

If you work in retail, you eat, sleep, and breathe the ultimate oxymoron:
Loss prevention
