Vox Populi: Gems of the Week

Slim pickins for Gems this week. Here you go:

Dishonorable Mention:
"Coach's Corner, leave the beautiful University of Georgia flag in front of the building. You Gator boogers seem to forget we stick with our Dogs win or lose. We are not fair-weather fans."
- Yeah. Take that, you Gator boogers.

Dishonorable Mention:
"Is it wrong to tell a Jaguar owner that his car looks like a Hyundai?"
- Yes, but it is perfectly acceptable to tell Stephen that his Hyundai looks like a Jaguar.

Dishnorable Mention:
"The Accent spread on Sunday about Urban Erotica was totally inappropriate for a family newspaper."
- Yeah, but it was so hot!

Third Runner-up:
"Before the Truman Parkway was open, the drivers in Savannah should have taken a class on merging. If you do not let cars merge while driving on the Jersey Turnpike, you get a ticket."
- If I cared about what went on in New Jersey, I’d read JoiseyNow.com.

Second Runner-up:
"Where can I go to buy paper dolls?"
- ...

First Runner-up:
"I thought I was being ripped off by the gas companies until I went to my dentist, and he charged me $1,025 for 40 minutes of work."
- But you paid it, right? Brilliant! You’ve just demonstrated how a free market system works. You received quality dental care, your dentist received money for his services to you, and the government didn’t get involved! It’s a beautiful thing.

And your Gem of the Week:
"Savannah is roughly 32.0 North, 81.0 West (just off the old Sheraton Hotel in the Wilmington River). If you dug straight through the earth from that point, you would end up at 32.0 North, 81.0 East, which is in Southwest China."
- This guy is answering the question that was in the Gems last week. He is obviously an idiot and has never taken a geometry class. If you were to draw a line straight through the center of a sphere, you would be on the complete opposite side of it. Sounds easy, right? This means if you were to start at the northwest quadrant of the Earth (which is where we are) and dig a hole through the center, you would come out in the southeast quadrant which. This dumbass started and ended in the northern hemisphere. Idiot.
Happy Friday. Go Eagles.
