The English language is a complex, sometimes confusing but certainly a very interesting language. It's full of similar sounding words that mean different things, confusing verbs and odd spellings. It's no wonder that it is known to be one of the hardest languages to learn.
But, in amongst this strange mass of words and contradictions lie some hidden humorous gems.
Funny Humorous Letters by Snozzle is just one example of the many squidoo lenses out there that highlight the weird and wacky side of the English language by bringing funny letters that have been sent to official and professional bodies to the rest of the world's attention.
As Snozzle is someone who had the pleasure of receiving similar letters to his place of work on a regular basis, I can only really begin to imagine just how much reading these letters brightened up his day. Perhaps they were funny enough to share with his mates over a pint of lager after work or even made him laugh out loud at his desk much to the amusement of his work colleagues.
Either way, they are something I would love to receive as a change from the somewhat boring spam emails I get sent to me like so many others also do.
As an extra bonus, spotted throughout the lens, Snozzle has been thoughtful enough to provide his readers with a little treat by adding a few optical illusions. These will be sure to send you crossed-eyed and loopy if you are that way inclined. It's ironic, in that case, that the random word generated this week is admitted :)
These particular funny letters, quotes and statements feature double entendres, toilet humour, medical quotes and more. A couple of my favourites amongst this collection are:
"Rectal examination revealed a normal sized thyroid," and
"My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it."
Now, it's over to you.
Do you have any experiences of similar funny letters or do you have your own personal favourite from this lens?
Hilarious, Carrie. I can see why you liked this one. It is obvious that none of these letter writers has learned to proofread. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Have read that lens before, and you have, in turn, written a hilarious review of it. LOL Carrie
ReplyDeleteThanks :) High praise indeed! x
ReplyDeleteHysterical, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do so love bloopers. I will have to toddle over there and look.
ReplyDeleteYou have probably seen this before, but while it is not a letter, it is my favorite contribution to the "memorable bloopers" pool. While I was a TA for art history, a student actually came in gasp to go over a rough draft. I pointed out with tact that assertions needed to be backed up with evidence. (He'd stated something that was completely wrong, and I was nudging him to do some research.)
In the final copy of the paper, the student had added a note in boldface, large type:
[[ ADD MORE [cowpat] HERE ]]
I consider it the Platonic Ideal of a student paper.
Once again, another fine piece of writing on your part. The lens is pretty funny too ;)
ReplyDeleteWhile I was employed as a plant manger for a certain small company, one of my duties was to handle all OSHA paperwork for employee incidents. One such incident involved an employee, an 8lb. hammer, and a worn steel die stamp. One strike of the stamp with the hammer launched a small piece of steel like rifled round (the doctor stated that the wound was akin to being shot by .32 caliber gun). That chunk of metal embedded itself in the employee's...well...let's just say that that the medical care given to the employee was excellent because he sired two children some time after the incident.
My duties were to file the correct reports, including the initial and follow up, with OSHA. I spent hours writing the follow up because I wanted to slightly mask humor without causing an uproar. There were mentions of micro-surgery and possible transplants using experimental techniques involving mouse organs.
One copy went to OSHA, one remained on file in our office, and one was tacked to the bulletin board by the time clock.
Funny thing is, I did not hear a peep from OSHA, so I was either successful at masking the humor, or no one there had a sense of humor. Or, maybe that report was tacked on a bulletin board somewhere in a federal building...
LOL Would love to read that report.
