You really don't need to see the picture for this internet meme so I won't send any traffic to the link. Just put your head in your hands and groan with me at the caption that reads "National Punctuation Day - Being On Time For Work One Day A Year". "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | ||

There really is a National Punctuation Day. I didn't know that - September 24th. Here is an article about it. | |||

The original meme that I saw was clearly meant to be "National Punctuality Day" but used the completely wrong word (possibly deliberately) which is why I found it funny. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

I'd guess deliberately... | |||

So would I "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

All of this has reminded me of a very old joke... Two old men are sitting in their Gentleman's club in London talking. The first man says "I tell you it's spelled W-H-O-O-M-B" "You are wrong" insists the second man "It's W-O-O-M-E". "Balderdash, I tell you. It's W-H-O-O-M-B! They go on for some time until a younger man who has been sitting nearby comes over and says "You are both wrong. The word is spelled W-O-M-B". And with that he walks away. There is a moment's silence until one of the old men says "Damned impertinence!" "Yes," agrees the other "And I'll bet he's never even heard an elephant fart!" "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

In a similar vein, what's the difference between a place where one can order a beer and an elephant fart? One's a bar room and ther other's a BARROOM! | |||
