This page-a-day calendar has been a staple in our household for years and years.

Anyone who is with my family often enough will know that at some point during the day one of us will ask the other two:

“Did you see the funny thing?”

There is never any doubt about what funny thing we’re talking about. The funny thing always comes from The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said Page-A-Day calendar. When the quotes are especially good, we read them out loud to each other.

We post the best ones on our refrigerator. Being “fridge-worthy” is the highest compliment we can pay.

Maybe I’ll post a picture of that collection sometime.

For now, I will focus on my personal favorites, the few that have made it to the magnet board above my desk. That’s the highest honor in a way, since they are minimal in number. They have to be really good.

So those of you who are visually impaired can enjoy them too, I will repeat them here. Please note that all of these quotes are from various The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said
