trivia tuesday

trivia tuesday at the whimsey project! our day to share all manner of trivia.  we have several categories and invite you to share your own category:
*general trivia, fun facts and interesting tidbits.
*NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE EVERY DAY! the most unusual experiences.
*what's in a name? someone's surname that matches their profession.
*you did not! in which you relate an experience to others and they respond with YOU DID NOT! or are otherwise incredulous.

in the YOU DID NOT! category, my experiences in australia provoked this response on more than one occasion! we were in a forest hiking and i saw a koala sleeping in a tree. we were in a nature preserve and i held a koala. we were in the great barrier reef and i saw a purple star fish. i told australians that i saw a koala in the wild and they said YOU DID NOT! for it seems sightings in the wild are rare. after returning to america and shared all these experiences with friends at several opportunities and they all said YOU DID NOT! i did, australia and america. i really, really did!

share your trivia with us today at the whimsey project!

  3. Trying to order tix to see John Corbett in concert at a local regional theater--the website had one date and the brochure I was sent had another. So calling the box office to ask what was the actual date of the concert--the lady on the phone would not believe me that the date was wrong on the website-even though I had it open and was looking at it as we spoke.
    She said ---It Does Not Say That! hahahaha, that is until she booted up her computer and saw it for herself! Maybe it's fixed by now.

    1. "it does not say that! oh, yes. maybe it does! never mind." what's it got to do with anything? why even bring it up!? it's funny to read but probably not much fun to deal with!
