“What happened to your leg?”
I was walking with a limp and I guess my friend noticed.
“A clown was chasing me with a chainsaw and I whacked it hard against an operating table.”
True story.
There’s a new haunted house in Prague and some friends and I decided to check it out on Friday.
Do I recommend it?
Well, it was ok.
Was it scary?
Well, the guy with the chainsaw gave me some exercise, but overall… eh. It was just ok.
But you know what was really horrifying?
The English!
Example: As you enter, a sign tells you “Follow the rudder.”
What’s a rudder?
It’s the thing on a ship that you use to steer.
And what’s a rudder doing inside a haunted house?
I don’t know.
I didn’t see any.
But I did see arrows.
So I guess they got some bad advice from Professor Google Translate.
I don’t blame them, though.
It’s easier to let the robots do the work than it is to improve your English.
But, of course, your carreer options will be forever limited…
So maybe you feel like a clown every Monday morning… maybe your chainsaw is running out of gas… and maybe your boss is the devil.
Better English opens the exit to many haunted houses.
