Oddly Enough, Reuters blog (August 22, 2009)
"Me too. There are way too many kinds of explosive gadgets. I saw this photo of a woman wearing a device made of an alarm clock and sausages.
"Sausages? They don't even explode, do they?
"Sure. In many parts of the world they’re also called bangers...."
Be assured: this isn't the wurst of the - awful - wordplay in this article. Frankly, I'm surprised that so much could be packed into such a short post. Just follow the links, and you'll see what I mean.
That's funny!
The source of the photo, not so much.
The photo comes from Reuters, and is part of a rather under-reported "...rally protesting against Afghanistan's 'Family Law', which diminishes women's rights in Afghanistan, near the Afghanistan embassy in Kiev August 21, 2009. Authorities in Afghanistan passed a law permitting men to deny their wives food and sustenance if they refuse to obey their husbands' sexual demands...." ("Topics / Women's-Rights / Photos " Reuters, via The Wall Street Journal (August 21, 2009))
I still think the Oddly Enough post is funny, though.
