This is why we proof-read
Some German guy was heading to Sydney, Australia for vacation, but accidentally bought a ticket AND went to Sindey, Montana instead. You’d think that you’d look at the ticket and realize you were heading to the wrong continent. At least I’d hope I would.

A chicken and egg question
My friend Heather introduced me to “Smile”: it’s a Beach Boys album loosely based on the music from “Good Vibrations”. It’s a bit of a trip to listen to. While we were talking about it this question came up:
