Your an Idiot!

So I was filling up my truck the other day at one of the local Cenex stations, when I noticed this message posted on the pump. Not a big deal to most people, I'm sure, but I am a bit of a stickler for grammar and spelling, although I don't claim to be an expert. This is clearly wrong though. We can all agree on that I hope.

I dismissed it as a common error, and went on my way. Then, filling up at another Cenex, I saw the exact same sign pasted on the pump! This means that some fool printed up a bunch of these and delivered them to the local Cenex stations - presumably a manager. So, someone who has risen to a level where they dictate policy to multiple stations can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're"?

"You're" is the correct usage by the way, as in "you are" on camera. That sentence doesn't have a subject or a verb, unless you count the implied "you", which I won't. In summary, if you are in a position to make such visible decisions, at least spell check. And if you are the person responsible for this, you are a dummy.

Teen Sex Causes Accident At New Restaraunt

Oh, hello. I didn't hear you come in. I'm Pat Barringer, host of the Pat Barringer Show. I was just reading my local newspaper, The Fargo Forum from their website, in-forum.com.

One of the features of the online edition is a box that shows the most read stories in a given hour. I have noticed a pattern in the types of stories that make the top of the list. Here are - in order of most to least read - the most popular subjects that Fargo and Moorhead readers can't get enough of.

1. Someone dies in a car wreck. This trumps everything. Could it be someone YOU know? Better find out...
2. Pornography/Prostitution. Photos of the accused are a must. And child pornography? So much the better. These stories probably serve as a "what not to do" for every pervert reading the online Forum.
3. Teen Anything. It doesn't matter what the story is about. Use "teen" in the title or as an adjective for anything to guarantee it will be read.
4. Restaraunt Opening/Closing. There's not much to do in Fargo other than eat and drink, so a new place for area fatsos (this writer included) to spend money is always welcome.

So, check it out for yourself. My bit is to scan the headlines every morning and then try to guess which story will be the most read. Use this list to get you started. Enjoy the sexiness!
