Wouldn't it be lovering

I've often rolled my eyes at the poor English blazoned on Spaniards' t-shirts. Then recently I noticed one t-shirt that I thought was an inadvertently clever mistake. The t-shirt says, "Think Green," in large letters and underneath it has an alternate 3 R's: reduce, refuse, recycle. I've seen the t-shirt enough times now, though, to think that "refuse" was intentional. Either way, I approve.

But I saw one sweatshirt that takes the cake in that it's so absolutely bizarre you can't even imagine what message someone was trying to get across. I wrote it down because it was impossible to remember the sequence of words. Here, I give it to you verbatim: "Ever body lovering her so we all love."

Happy April Fish Day!

While all you Americans are tricking each other with short-sheeted beds, saran-wrap on toilets, and telling your trusting children that it's a snow day (I'm looking at you, Dad), the French are busy with another equally exciting tradition today: fishing each other. Although I myself have never been fished, I hear it requires the utmost skill and the result is utterly hilarious: children (and perhaps adults?) attempt to stick cut-outs of fish on each others' backs. And they're completely confused why anyone would go further than that when it comes to mischief-making on the first of April.
