Got a call from the new librarian this afternoon. There was a meeting of the library board and she had no one to man the desk during the meeting. Would I fill in for a couple of hours? Their meeting would begin at 4 so I came in at 3 to give her a little time to prepare. Wilma and Nancy, (both board members) are planning on an Oriental-themed display for the library. They brought in their things tonight so we would be ready tomorrow to work on installation. While getting her objects for the display together, Wilma found the box her paper shredder had come in. It was made in China but she won't be displaying it. Just thought we would like to see a real-life example of 'lost in translation.'

Hahahaha! Too funny.
Olivia once got a 'water-proof' watch made in China. The instructions that came with it were titled; "Pay Attention Matters". (Plus it warned us to not get the watch wet.) To this day, anytime someone in our family hasn't taken time to read directions/instructions for something, we tell them to make sure they've read the 'Pay Attention Matters' first! :-)

Wow! That's crazy! Reminds me of some of the sayings inside of the fortune cookies. Makes no sense.

Enjoy the convenience of the spacious waste bin in the Dahle 20396 Department paper shredder.
