“Your screenplay is amazing. It’s fresh, original, like nothing we’ve ever seen before,
but we can fix that.”

That reminds me of the classic

Tutor to Student: Your dissertation was perfect, both good and original. Unfortunately the parts which were good were not original, and the parts which were original were not good.

Here’s one for @Bonzocat
Dans un ministère, les souris ont envahi les sous-sols où sont entreposées des tonnes d’archives.
Un des chefs de service connaît un ami qui possède un chat réputé bon chasseur de rongeurs et il lui demande de lui prêter.
Au bout de quinze jours, il n’y a plus une seule souris, et, du coup, le ministère décide d’acheter le chat pour en disposer en permanence.
Deux mois après, le chef de service revoit son ami :

• Je ne comprends pas. Ton chat était formidable au début, et depuis quelque temps les souris sont revenues et il ne fait rien !
• C’est normal, dit l’autre. Vous l’avez titularisé…

If Banksy was Italian.

At the moment, I’m sure they would! And if it was a programme called “Knee Deep in Snow”, even more so.

We have some good friends who lived in Badajoz for 10 years, and they took great pleasure in a cool, damp day during their trips back to the UK, even when camping. It seemed nuts at the time, but I understand better now.

Elon Musk Changes His Own Name to WTF

One week after changing Twitter’s name to X, Elon Musk has changed his own name to WTF.

Explaining the decision to reporters, he said, “Elon Musk is an O.K. name, but WTF fits me better.”

“I know that people everywhere have extremely warm and positive associations with the name Elon Musk,” he added. “But, as we say at SpaceX, sometimes you have to blow things up.”

The tech magnate revealed that his new name had been chosen “in a fun contest” by employees at X headquarters. “People may have been pissed when I wouldn’t let them work from home, but one perk of coming in to the office is you get to do cool stuff like this,” he noted.

He said that the name WTF won the contest after beating back a strong challenge from the employees’ second-favorite name for him, LMFAO.
