One of my favorite blogs to read is Not Always Right (as in “The Customer Is…”). It’s a composed entirely of reader-submitted anecdotes at the workplace where customers prove that old saying wrong. Here’s one they posted the other day:
(I’ve just finished giving a guy his pizza when he notices my car in the driveway.)

The AP has a little fun with the Republicans’ complaints about the length of the various Democratic health care legislation:
