It's Blubber Fryday! ...uh I mean Blooper Friday!

Hi Friends - Welcome to Blooper Friday. Some things never change, and it seems that a lack of proofreading is one of them. Here are some new bloopers and a few of my favorite oldies for your pleasure. Please enjoy these hysterical gaffes: 

 

Cooking Your Own Goose?  

 

"Extra oven, warm drawers" (That's your first clue not to stick your ass in the oven.) 

 

"Two bedrooms and large orifice" (Congratulations - you managed to get your foot into it.)

 
"Warts seeing" (If your warts have eyes, I'm guessing it's an STD.)


"Watch the moaning sun" (It's moaning about your inability to proofread.)

 

"Use your imagininaton" (Well, you certainly do when it comes to spelling!) 

 

Stewing in your Own Juice? 

 

"Near coffee hoses" (For those who are into caffeine colonics.)

 

"Spayer leaks" (I hear that's why the vet fired him.) 

 

"Damp area on grass being investigated" (Apparently the spayer took another leak.)


"Call or fix" (You're getting a lot of mileage out of that spayer, aren't you?)

 

"This has all the belly whistles" (Have you tried Beano?) 

 

Weaving Your Own Noose?  

 

"Tab & hairs negotiable" (This must be an ad for a close-out sale at a police evidence room.) 

 

"Cashier check mandatory" (Great - I'll frisk the cute guy at Register #1.) 

 

"End of driveway has big drop of" (It seems you spoke too soon...)

 

"The views will catapult you" (You should have stopped at the end of the driveway...)  

 

"Built-in twin bucks" (Hence the antler hat rack on the wall.) 

 

Hanging Loose!


"New paint - your prick!" (First men name their johnsons, and now they're painting them!) 

That's it for this week, folks. Remember: Spell well and sell!

Gwen, that two bedrooms and large orifice sounds like the model home I visted last night with that obnoxious builder salesman. 

Of course, since I've gotten fat, that belly whisle is more like a kafrump sound when I sit down.

Mike Cooper, with some people, the large orifice in question is their open yap. It seems as though you met one of those folks last night! Have a good weekend, Mike.

Hi Gwen Banta ,

I'm so glad that Carol Williams featured your post in her Second Chance Saturday post! I love your bloopers and have missed them. What a chuckle I've had today!

Haha, where do you FIND these? I'm always so careful with my listings because I don't want to wind up on your blooper list!

(PS, reading your book now!)

Kat Palmiotti, I find them everywhere. The MLS, real estate advertisements and newspapers. Proofreading went out with cursive writing I’m afraid.

On another note – thank you for reading my book - I hope you enjoy it. Have you had any luck finding a publisher?

John Henry, even the newscasters need help. It's amazing what grammatical errors one hears on  television!

You can't make this up and spell check can't substitute for reviewing the language.

Joe Pryor, I agree – there is no substitute for reading...and there is no substitute for a proper education! :-)

Bloopers never really hurt too many people because we all need a laugh once in a while.

Finally got over here. I was so happy to see you'd posted a new blooper list, thanks to Carol Williams - worth the visit too. I'm always amazed at the typos - but as usual, love your additional comments the most.

Thank you, Debb Janes. I am sure I have been guilty of some humdingers myself, but I do really try to proofread. Sometimes the second set of eyes is what is required, because the brain tricks us into seeing what we intended rather than what is there. Last week I texted my client to tell him I was going to send several “dics” for signature. You can imagine his response. Thank God he has a sense of humor!

Where can I get me one of those belly whistles? The mind honestly just boggles.

Gayle Rich-Boxman - I sometimes wonder if some agents don't plan a few of these...

Jane, when I saw that one, I laughed out loud. Too much dictating...not enough proofreading!
