Trivial

Published by under Uncategorized

Proof, as if any is needed, of how very shallow and trivial I am:

Every time I see this banner around town:

I read it one of two ways without stopping to think.

1. In English, as “Laid SF”.

2. In French, as, well, “Laid SF” (“Laid” is French for “ugly”. Doesn’t everything sound better in French?).

It’s an important cause, and I happen to be sponsoring someone who’s riding in it, but I can’t help but wonder if I’m the only one who reads the banners that way.
