Craigslist, again, under "antiques":

"These Hairline fractures threw out the whole dish is living proof that it is old."

On the topic of water quality, from a person who frequently holds herself up as an authority on education:

Damn that Melinia and her sense of self-entitlement!

Here's one I saw in my supermarket: Over on the aisles where the over-the-counter drugs are, there was a sign for "Ant Acid."
