You've Got to Be Kidding Me

As I walked into the university yesterday morning, I noticed a young women affixing a poster that read "theredrevolution.ca". Had the Communist Party of Canada begun recruiting at my school? In small print below the url: "Liberal Party of Canada". Umm, something is wrong here.

Official transcript of a sisterly phone conversation:
QoWP: "Whaaaaa-t? Liberals haven't been revolutionary since 1848."
Janny: "What happened in 1848?"
QoWP: "The Revolution of 1848."
[Rim Shot]

The Liberals referring to themselves as the
Red Revolution* is kind of like call myself Wonder Woman -- doesn't mean I have an invisible plane or a magic lasso.


*Originally Published 1918

  1. Plural: RevolutionS of 1848. There were several.

  2. I think the 's' was lost in the fiber optics. Either that or the official transcriber needs to be fired. You just can't find good help these days.
