a brick and a bouquet - 04/02/09 11:49 PM
First the bouquet, I came across this in a Latham novel and liked it:
"An eminent jurist once observed that a word is only the skin of a living thought. Its color and content vary with time and circumstance."
The same day I saw a professionally produced poster at work that annoys me more than it probably should:
"Do you have heart disease?
Are you overweight or a smoker?
Do you want to live a healthier lifestyle?
If you answered “True” to any of these you are eligible ..."
The answers should be yes/no not true/false. Aargh.
