Speeching impediments and quality assurance

I bet you’re wondering how I’m going to tie speeching impediments and quality assurance together. Just wait. :)

I’ve been known to get tongue-tied occasionally (cough). Okay, so maybe occasionally is an understatement. A couple of my shining moments that stand out are “Shhhh! The ears have walls!” and “Go take a short walk off a long pier.” On a cold night in New Mexico, I was walking my friends out to their cars and stepped on slightly frosty grass. To which I exclaimed, “The ice is grassy! No, I mean the grice is assy! NO! The grass is icy!”

A few days ago, I was shopping at Hobby Lobby with my mom and sister. And the garden accessories were half off! (I know some of you are as excited about that as I am!) Anyway, we were looking at the birdhouses and there was this adorable hunting cabin themed birdhouse. So, I thought, “How cute!” Then noticed there was a little box on the front that said:

RIF
LES

And I was thinking, “What the heck is a riff-less?!” Took me a minute to figure out it was supposed to say “rifles.” Ah ha! So we got a good laugh out of that and just continued on our merry way.

Well, coming out of the store, we spotted this adorable little Noah’s Ark chest. See Exhibit A:

Then, we looked closer (Exhibit B):

“TOW BY TOW” Yup. I had to take a photo with my phone, cuz I wouldn’t have believed me either! You’d think someone in the Hobby Lobby supply chain would notice this, but, um, no.

    You made me snort with “take a short walk off a long pier”. Oh my, I’m still laughing out loud in my cubicle. This is not going to help my already wackified reputation.

    Love TOW by TOW. Maybe they were all really heavy animals???
