Humor

With Halloween approaching, many will begin decorating and preparing for the celebration over the next few weeks. If you are considering getting a pumpkin though, you may want to think twice about carving that pumpkin. A life of regret over slaughtering helpless vegetables may not be worth the momentary pleasure.

I noticed this rather interesting pair of billboards while eating yesterday evening. They must mean one of three things.

• This is an advertisement for something other than a hospital, otherwise if they are in this area they are contradicting themselves. What are they, a midwife service?
• The advertised hospital isn't in this area, which begs the question why are they advertising here.
• They left out the word "other" as in "any other hospital," in which case this is a rather embarassing grammar mistake to have on such public display.
