A Sign in my Elevator


Funny for so, so, so many reasons.
Here's the back story.
The original note posted in my elevator was showing that the meeting, originally scheduled for the evening of November 4th (obviously: election night), had been cancelled. Not a night where too many people would be willing to head to some windowless office to discuss the proper disposal of pet excrement. This is something that I'm sure that 95% of the people in my building realized, and probably quickly chuckled, like I did.
But one guy, one lonely, bored person decided that it was SO funny, that he or she went back to his apartment, turned on his computer, opened up Microsoft Word, wrote the first sign saying "Whose the idiot that scheduled the condo meeting during a Presidential election?!!", printed it out, went back to the elevator, BROKE INTO the plastic sign display, and left it so we can all revel in his glorious dark wit. The thought of this, in itself is almost enough to make me wet myself.
But then, there's the second part. Somebody, very correctly, noticed that this GENIUS who posted his comment had used the improper spelling in "whose." So he decided that it was absolutely necessary to again BREAK INTO the plastic sign display, remove the original comment sheet, and write below the original note "WHO IS the idiot who doesn't know usage of "whose?"" Now - again, it's hilarious that this guy decided to take it upon himself and deliver guerrilla justice to the first comment's author and give him a nice, big GOTCHA! moment. And he did - the only problem is, in his haste, he, himself completely grammatically butchered his sentence.
Now, before somebody says anything, yes, I realize I'm basically doing the same thing as these guys, only on the Internet instead of with Sharpies on my elevator sign. But that's okay, because....ummm......OBAMA '08!!!
GO VOTE, PEOPLE!
