They start them young in this job

From a discussion thread elsenet about high-pressure sales jobs:

"It's survial of the fetus out there."

(Not a momentary brain fart, either; the comment containing this sentence was posted a second time, expanded and edited, but without that word changed--and without the spelling of "survival" corrected either.)

Now I really want to work this phrase into my next conversation about the abortion debate. Especially if the conversation is about pro-lifers who are also Creationists.

For once I hope this isn't truth in advertising

The newsprint grocery-store ad in front of me says, at the very bottom:

WE ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING:
Visa MasterCard ATM Women, Infants & Children EBT

...Either a chunk of text got misplaced from somewhere else, or someone's got a very lame sense of humor.
