Yes, folks it's the MISSISSAUGA WEEKEND FUNNIES!
The first Funny is provided by none other than The MIssissauga News. (Proof positive that people can be Unintentionally Funny! And if there's such a thing as Unintentional Funny, there's also such a thing as Uintentional Satire and even Unintentional Irony).
We provide all three right here in this one Blog entry.
See if you can spot the Unintentional Funny here in the MIssissauga News article, "Youth group turns 25"
This part about the Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee:
"McCallion agrees.
'I've been to some of their discussion groups and they're exciting,' she said. 'They take on all the issues and when they get a bone in their teeth, they really debate it...they debate on the two sides of an issue.'"
Cracked me right up. A McCallionism if there ever was one.
Here's a more subtle Unintentional Funny from The Toronto Star article, "10 things Miller needs to hear"
See if you can spot it --an Unintentional Oxymoron.
Royson James writes:
"City manager Shirley Hoy welcomes the scrutiny as a chance for vindication. Staff have fulfilled 80 per cent of more than 800 recommendations from the city's independent auditor general. Still, people don't believe."
(tee hee *SNORK*)
Now for the REAL FUNNIES. To review, last week's comic strip and then this weekend's. Howzit, a young Hawaiian green sea turtle makes his way to Mississauga --albeit with.... reluctance.
THIS WEEKEND'S COMIC
Wherein our chelonian hero is forced to decide between a rock and a hard place.
FROM THE FEEL-GOOD DEPARTMENT:
For anyone interested, we posted this week's sea turtle rescue onto YouTube. A reminder that the turtle looked like this.
Here's video of her rescue (narrated by The Mississauga Muse)
Like, click to go to YouTube, eh?
Sighting a tiger shark, freeing a sea turtle, finding out there are only "two sides on a issue".... it's been a good week!
