How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is!

Why are you so expensive? My nephew has Photoshop—I can just get him to do it.
Me:
Does your nephew have Microsoft Word?
Prospective client:
Yes.

Then have him write you a novel while he’s at it.

Something has left my life, And I don’t know where it went to, ah, ha, ha. Somebody caused me strife, And it’s not what I was seeking. Didn’t you see me, didn’t you hear me? Didn’t you see me standing there, ah, ha, ha? Why did you turn out the lights? Did you know that I was sleeping? Say a prayer for me, Help me to feel the strenght, I did. My identity, has it been taken? Is my heart breakin’ on me? All my plans fell thought my hands, They fell thought my hands on me. All my dreams it suddenly seems, It suddenly seems, Empty [Cranberries]

Something has left my life, 
And I don’t know where it went to, ah, ha, ha. 
Somebody caused me strife, 
And it’s not what I was seeking. 

Didn’t you see me, didn’t you hear me? 
Didn’t you see me standing there, ah, ha, ha? 
Why did you turn out the lights? 
Did you know that I was sleeping? 

Say a prayer for me, 
Help me to feel the strenght, I did. 
My identity, has it been taken? 
Is my heart breakin’ on me? 

All my plans fell thought my hands, 
They fell thought my hands on me. 
All my dreams it suddenly seems, 
It suddenly seems, 
Empty

Never heard of

Two young, cute and apparently well-educated American tourists are strolling down the Paris underground when the train announces we are entering Austerlitz station
Girl1:
what did he say? Austerlitz?!?! Seems to me like he said Auschwitz
Girl2:
Auschwitz?!?! What is it?
Girl1:
don't you know what Auschwitz is?
Girl2:
no...never heard of...
me:
Are we doomed to forget and leave dumb idiots rule our society?
