There was a commecial last night for a laundry detergent called OxyClean, that cliamed to have extra whitenting powers . They guy who was touting it looked pretty ragged and disheveled, plus his language was pretty crude, characterics I can only assume were deliberate to enhance the claims of his product's cleaning powers. My husband remarked, "What an oxymoron!"

Re: Contradictions in terms
Fri, September 21, 2007 - 10:48 PMI've often suspected that certain people I've met wash their clothes with oxymoron. I've also wondered how to teach a moron a less-on. Could this guy have been a son of a bleach? A lady of this sort would certainly deter a gent, don't you think? This should be enough to Tide you over for awhile! -

Re: Contradictions in terms
Tue, October 23, 2007 - 5:39 PMYeah this is really getting under my skin! By the way, you know what my doctor does when he's stressed out? He gives himself a saline solution - on the luxury yacht that all his patients paid for. -

Re: Contradictions in terms
Wed, October 24, 2007 - 2:15 PMi came to a fork in the road, and i saw two birds standing there. one said, 'take the left fork,' and the other said, 'take the right fork.'
it was a contradiction in terns. -

Re: Contradictions in terms
Wed, October 24, 2007 - 4:50 PMWere they medical terns? I'd like to study them. I like medical terninology. -

Re: Contradictions in terms
Wed, October 24, 2007 - 7:06 PMI knew a guy who discovered the best way to keep his birds from flying off. Pin them down with barbells! He didn't want to do it, but got tired of chasing them. Someone finally told him, "You'll just have to weight your tern!" -

Re: Contradictions in terms
Thu, October 25, 2007 - 7:17 AMMaybe he should just wing it instead. -

Have you heard about the party invitations that are limited to a certain type of bird? At the bottom they say, "Egrets only!" -

Re: Contradictions in terms

Re: Contradictions in terms
Thu, October 25, 2007 - 1:35 PMWe used to have a pet bird and my siblings and I would argue over who got to play with it. "It's my tern!'' No, it's MY tern!" My mother, bless her heart, handed us a basket of recently hatched chicks and said "Now be quiet - you can each have a tern!" -

Y'know what happened when the seabird ate some bad sausage that the cruise ship's kitchen threw overboard? He took a tern for the wurst.

You should have seen that pair rot.

Re: Contradictions in terms
Thu, October 25, 2007 - 9:25 PMThat was a cheeky thing to say!
-
Re: Contradictions in terms
Fri, October 26, 2007 - 8:35 AMTwo terns were having a disagreement: "Your feathers aren't as white as they used to be." "I beg to differ my dear, they're as white as the day I was hatched!" You could call it a contradiction in terns.
