Sometimes we say things with an alternate meaning and don’t intend for them to be taken literally. I wonder if that is the case with what “boss” said?

What’s That? – Lost in Translation
For the second installment I decided to go with another picture, but some stories I have almost made it.

What’s That? – The Beginning
I often receive e-mail that makes me chuckle and adds a little humor to my day, so I thought it would be nice to start posting my “funny” library for everyone.
Today’s installment of “What’s That?” starts a series of pictures, quotes and stories that will make you look twice and hopefully add a bright spot to your day.
