Worth a second look
Several months ago I posted this picture of a notice I found it the office of a coal mine I was working at over in Virginia last summer and thought it was worth a second look.
I find it difficult to believe that notice wasn't posted by somebody as a joke of the "Siks munce ago I cooden spel truk drivur, now I ar wun." variety; or to see if anybody was paying attention.

OMG! That note is hilarious! Who wrote it, and, better yet, what position did they hold in the company?

HOly Crap! That is scarey. I'm guessing this is what a GED gets a person.
Sherri: I have a fairly good idea who wrote it, and they were middle management.
Dirk: That's what I thought at first, but after a while I realized it was real, then I just HAD to take the picture.
Lisa: I have a GED... What's wrong with that?
You've GOT to be kidding me. Were there ANY words this idiot DID know how to spell? I felt my own IQ drop as I read it!
Outdoorsy: I felt the same way. My IQ dropped several points every time I rolled through the gate there. And it was serious... Scary, isn't it?
It never stops being funny.
