Slip Of The Pen

A slip of the pen is a mistaken piece of writing when something else is intended.

It refers to unintentional errors made while writing often involving mistakes in spelling, grammar, or using incorrect words.

 I can't help but ask:

1.  What meal do they serve there?

2.  Turo- turo ba?

3. Smorgasbord?

4. Eat all you can?

5.  Is it a kiddie meal or Meals on Wheels?

6, Is it a TV dinner or a value meal

7. Is it a picnic or a potluck?

8. Is it continental breakfast or brunch?

You see the list will go on and on ... and that's because of your wanton disregard and your reckless and sloppy belief that everybody is forgiving ... and will just shrug off your semantic deficit and say, "he meant well ... ibalato na lang natin ang blunder sa kanya". Well ... not all the time sir!

And for a humor writer like me, I put malice and meaning to any word you use. I blame your thoughtless syntax because making people laugh or smile is very hard these days. After seeing the restroom image above, I don't have control over what kind of humor I will apply.  

From slapstick humor, it crumbles, decomposes, and follows the road to toilet humor. 

Much that I don't want to go that route ... I am human ... with all its weaknesses and frailty.

Slip Of The Pen

 If you are a grammar police who usually gets irritated and cannot stand your penchant for the use of the fractured King's language ... incoherent sentence structure and semantics ... mind-boggling syntax and word coordination ... this nook is not for you. 

But traveling from Aparri to Jolo ... we encountered signage in the streets that managed to put a smile on our faces ... even though Robin Padilla's grandiose display of bad opinions ... or China's flexing his superpower muscle ... has riled up and angered our tender sensibilities.

We are here to celebrate (not mock) the little cracks and flaws in how we communicate. All of us make mistakes ... and at a time when a kilo of rice at 20 pesos is next to impossibility ... we need a little outlet to have a hearty laugh.

And no matter how over-use the cliche goes ... Laughter is indeed ... the best medicine.
