Quotes and Malaprops from actual high school and college exams on the subject of Music Appreciation

😜😜😜

  • The principal singer of nineteenth-century opera was called the pre-Madonna.
  • Agnes Dei was a woman composer famous for her church music.
  • A trumpet is an instrument when it is not an elephant sound.
  • When electric currents go through them, guitars start making sounds. So would anybody.
  • Just about any animal skin can be stretched over a frame to make a pleasant sound once the animal is removed.

And finally, a serious quote from a serious Playboy playmate, Barbie Benton.

(Not PETA Approved)

“I believe that minks are raised to be turned into fur coats and if we didn’t wear fur coats, those little animals would never have been born. So is it better not to have been born, or to have lived for one or two years to have been turned into a fur coat. I don’t know.”

I thought since it’s another gray, wet, and crappy day I’d get lazy and throw a collection of useless information your way. There’s no rhyme or reason just a whole lot of nonsensical facts.

Odd Newpaper Headlines

  • Miners Refuse to Work After Death
  • Stolen Painting Found by Tree
  • Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant

Ridiculous Newspaper Classified Ads

  • For Sale: Two wire-mesh butchering gloves, one 5 finger, one 3 finger, pair $15.00.
  • Free Puppies: 1/2 cocker spaniel – 1/2 sneaky neighbor’s dog.
  • Georgia Peaches – California Grown – 89 cents a pound.
  • Joining nudist colony, must sell washer and dryer – $300.
  • For Sale: an antique desk suitable for a lady with thick legs and large drawers.

Malaprops (From Student Essays)

  • A rolling stone gathers no moths.
  • The battle was won due to gorilla warfare.
  • The store was closed for altercations.
  • The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bare arms.

Attorneys and Friends (Actual Court Testimony)

  • How far apart were the vehicles at the time of the accident?
  • You say the stairs went down to the basement? Did they also go up?
  • Can you give us an example of something you’ve forgotten?
  • Now, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning?

JUST PLAIN SILLINESS

As a kid I learned to read the newspapers from my parents. At that time there was very little current event news available except by newspaper due to the fact there was no Internet and in my case no television. You either picked up the local news by radio or from the newspapers. In my later years I occasionally read newspapers on Sunday mornings, and it took a couple of hours because the newspapers were at least 3 inches thick. A few years later I again took to reading the Sunday papers primarily looking for jobs. I never really appreciated the newspapers like I should have and there are times I do miss being able to wake up on a Sunday morning, make a huge mug of hot coffee, and sit and read every word of every page of the New York Times or the Pittsburgh Press. Unfortunately, with the passing of time newspapers are slowly fading away. I can’t let that happen without having a little fun with them before they’re all gone which means today, you’re going to get some more of our more humorous newspaper headlines supplied by many alleged professional editors. Have fun with it.

I just love reading and listening to news and current events, not for their overwhelming truthfulness but for their misleading and sometimes stupid inaccuracies. Once upon a time the news was reported by actual journalists who dug up the information and submitted it to highly capable editors to keep things as accurate as possible. Unfortunately, these days we have a huge selection of news readers and talking heads with nice hair, big boobs, all handsome and beautiful, who all get their stories as reported to them by the general use wire services. They’re lucky if they can pronounce some of the words properly. Here are a few of my favorite headlines that are both ridiculous and ludicrous.

LARGER KANGAROOS LEAP FURTHER, RESEARCHERS FIND

ALCOHOL ADS PROMOTE DRINKING

CHILDS DEATH RUINS COUPLE’S HOLIDAY

QUEEN MARY HAVING BOTTOM SCRAPED

ILLITERATE? WRITE TODAY FOR FREE HELP

SURVEY FINDS DIRTIER SUBWAYS FTER CLEANING JOBS WERE CUT

SCIENTISTS SEE QUAKES IN L. A. FUTURE

MAN SHOOTS NEIGHBOR WITH MACHETE

I think these headlines have helped make my point. Pay close attention to all of those alleged reporters as you watch their multitude of news programs and opinion pieces!

To quote my ever so critical late father:

YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS S*** UP
