I was once sitting in a stall in an Army barracks in Germany... sitting there thinking about life, the universe and everything... when I began to read the wall-art. One wise man wrote... "Wite guys dont like us coze we take they're woman and their is no way they can compete with there little (selves)." Now, I had to give him (I would say "him or her"... but in the current local, it was more probable a male...) credit that he knew there were three forms of "There, their and they're" and he used all of them... wrong. For the first time ever, I took out my pen and actually committed "damage to Gov't property" and added my own little graffiti message; "Good luck on your G.E.D."
(No-offense to anyone holding their G.E.D., I'm guessing this man didn't have his yet...) But I'm pretty sure now that if he ever saw it again, he was probably perplexed. (i.e. - "What's a 'ged'?")
