One of the funniest "most-embarrassing-moment" stories I've come upon in a long time was about a lady who picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed out for all the store to hear, "PRICE CHECK ON LANETHIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPER SIZE." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word Tampax" for "THUMBTACKS." In a businesslike tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom. "DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMBOR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?"
An interesting IS bulletin which was really published by one company. Recently, two individuals from USPL were traveling to Belgium on Sabena Belgium World Airlines, which is affiliated with Delta Airlines. They were seated in row 6 of the plane where seats contain the tray tables in the armrest section of the seat. They setup their tray tables and proceeded to use their laptop during flight, both their PCs began experiencing problems. Apparently the tray tables were magnetized, so they will not make noises while stored in the armrests. The magnetized trays corrupted the hard drives of both laptops. On this particular Belgium flight, the aircraft happen to be a "new" Airbus 340, which explains why this has not surfaced until now. The problem seems to be with a specific European aircraft seat manufacturer. US Airways, NorthWestern and United have no plans to utilize these magnetized trays in their new Airbus aircraft. Boeing and McDonald Douglas also has no plans to use these magnetized trays in their new aircraft, and there have been no reported cases of other types of aircraft experiencing this problem. The purpose of this notice is to simply make travelers aware of the "potential" problem, especially on Airbus aircraft built for European- based airlines. If the tray table appears to be magnetized (use a paperclip to see if it sticks), then I advise people NOT to use their laptop computer on these trays.
The nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosey" is a rhyme about the plague. Infected people with the plague would get red circular sores ("Ring around the rosey"), these sores would smell very badly so common folks would put flowers on their bodies somewhere (inconspicuously), so that it would cover the smell of the sores ("a pocket full of posies"). Furthermore, people who died from the plague would be burned so as to reduce the possible spread of the disease ("ashes, ashes, we all fall down").
