"Your life is filled with absurdies. Look for them; they are laughable. One of the easiest places to find these is in your mistakes, those bloopers that are an inevitable by-product of being human.
Here are some examples:
(From student tests)
Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, veins, and caterpillars
To be a good nurse you have to be absolutely sterile
(From letters parents wrote to teachers)
My son is under doctor's care and should not take fiscal ed. Please execute him
Please excuse Ralph from school on Friday. He had very loose vowels
(From a letter received by a county department)
I am very much annoyed to find you have branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie, as I was married a week before he was born."
