I wish I'd been on here earlier today....that would have got my vote for phrase of the day.

And "infelicities", ah, wonderful, what a lovely word...that should have been worked into every post today!

"Intercrated"!

...... Is this a form of human smuggling, putting her sons in packing crates in the hold?

Maybe so.

Their proof reading skills were dire, though. One guy forgot to populate the contact section of the template he used, so his phone number was actually listed as '000-000-0000' ...
