Jean shared some rather amusing tidbits...

It's said there is no such thing as a dumb question. The folks answering
the Seminole County's citizen hotline might disagree. After a busy night
of fielding inquiries, they compiled their David Letterman-style Top 10
list:
# 10 Is the mall open?
# 9 What does mandatory mean?
# 8 Will the curfew let me go to the bar with my friends?
# 7 Do I leave the sand in the bags?
# 6 Due to the water, do you put holes in the sandbags?
# 5 Is Casselberry a county? I live in Seminole County, and it is
different there.
# 4 I heard there is a 9 p.m. curfew for all of Seminole County. Is it
different in Sanford?
# 3 Do the shelters have parking spaces?
# 2 I'm heading to Alabama and I am in Ocala. I am running out of gas.
Should I turn around and go home?
# 1 I heard the storm is going to Miami. Does that mean it will miss
Florida?

LOL!
Another one came from a Reuters headline:
"Frances Delivers Long Pounding to Florida"
Thankfully, I wasn't the editor or I would've revised it to 'Long *Hard*
Pounding'. ;-)
