"Amazon now offers a heard of goats as well."

I wonder how they sound...

Offhand, I think that wintersaults are probably much more dangerous than those summersaults....

On the other hand, there are some You Tube videos of some motorcyclists doing flips.

"People can barley drive with out crashing, how well do you think they would fare if cars could fly?"

Forget flying pigs; the flying grain visual is a lot more interesting

"They are true social comileans" - a comment about people with a particular psychological condition.

I had to read this one out loud - only then did it make sense, mostly since someone once close to me made this claim about themselves (gender-neutral "they" is deliberate).

From a major metropolitan daily newspaper, in an article written by a professional journalist:

"... Measure 37, the voter-approved initiative that rolled back many of the central tenants of Oregon's groundbreaking statewide land-use laws."

They didn't roll back the landlords, just the tenants.

Comma Comileans, perhaps?

When I was about 13, I ordered a chameleon for a dollar. When it arrived I opened the box, saw the lizard, then never saw it again. It escaped and perhaps lived a long time in the house, or not. I don't remember if I told my parents. Surely I did.

The comment below was posted by somebody who claims to have graduated from a prestigious NJ high school, and who states that he earned a degree in accounting. Hopefully his math skills are better than his English language skills:

"Actually when I had a used car fro sale, I some one was trying to pay me in bitcoins. There is a population of local jail that got caught passing fonny checks."

It blended into it's surroundings, apparently!

That's OK. A few years ago, our cat brought a HUGE bullfrog - not a toad but a bullfrog - into the house and of course he immediately got loose. We chased that thing around the house for hours, and finally just gave up. I never did find him.
