Just thought I'd share something I got in my inbox a few days ago. It's really quite funny.
"Dear Evite Newsletter Subscriber,
Yesterday we mailed a newsletter to our subscribers with incorrect dates for three important Holidays. Please accept our sincerest apologies for these errors and note the following corrections:
Labor Day, September 1st
Rosh Hashanah, September 27th
Yom Kippur, October 6th
In addition, we also wish to apologize for having listed Yom Kippur as one of our "Reasons To Party". We understand and respect that Yom Kippur is a Day of Atonement, a day to be taken seriously to reflect and fast, and as such, one of the most important Jewish Holidays in the year.
Again we deeply apologize for the error and thank you for allowing us to make this correction.
Very Best,
The Evite Team"
Everyone should really add a "Reasons to Party" section to everything they do. Especially if it's horribly, horribly wrong. Also, "thank you for allowing us to make this correction"? Right.

Hey friends,
It's a wonder I still remember html coding. I checked the stats on my pages and it seems ppl are checking on me pretty regularly so I thought I might update. Nothing big, mind you, but something to tide you over for a bit.
Okay, maybe I just had to share this story and that's what prompted my update.
So I was at work and this guy comes over to me. The conversation went a little something like this:
Him: "Hi. I was wondering if I could ask you a question?"
Me: "Sure. Shoot."
Him: "Yeah... so I was just wondering if you hired retarded people...?"
Me (without a pause): "Yeah we do. In fact, we've got a few on staff right now..."
Him: "I meant, RETIRED people. See, I'm reTIRing in February and I think I might want another job."
Me: "Oh, retired people. Yup, we hire them too. Just drop off a resume in March."
Him: "Thanks. I think I will."
And that's the best thing that happened to me at work in a while. I'm still chuckling to myself about it.
