words are funny
Ah, life's little joys...how often I find them!
I'm sitting in Bear Rock Cafe enjoying the scones, tea and free internet access when I look up to see, on the wall, a sign (very nearly a plaque) that I had ne'er seen before. I assume it is the mission statement, and if this is the case, Dre, I'm very upset with you for not having recited it to me before and/or pointing out its hilarity already...for it is hilarious. It is entitled "The Bear's Growl," and it follows as such:
"To provide our guests with outrageously delicious food made with the freshest ingredients and served in a clean, comfortable, mountain lodge atmosphere by friendly, helpful team members."
GRRRRR!! Well, Bear Rock Cafe, you've achieved it. The food is outrageously delicious, the ingredients fresh, the atmosphere clean, comfy and mountain lodgey, and the team members are friendly and helpful. Growl on.
On what I think an even funnier note, I was reading through Wake Tech's ESL curriculum framework last night to make sure that I'm teaching my students what they need to be learning, and I found what has to be the greatest type-o in the history of mistakes. According to it, upon exiting level 3, Wake Tech's ESL students must be able to:
"Recognize and use propositions."
Can I please sign up to teach level 3 next semester? Because that would be the most fun lesson EVER to teach!!
