Same Time Every Year Event

by Jeb on August 14, 1999

2 days ago at work:

Ms Superiority: Why can’t you idiots just be more efficient sometimes?
Reception Bimbo #2: We are efficient!!
Me: Yeah. It’s just that we’re only efficient when we go home.

I went on a student exchange to Japan around 4 years ago, and I was just looking back at some of the brochures and stuff I picked up over there. It’s so obvious that some leaflets have been translated directly from Japanese to English, eg: “FESTIVALS THAT KEEP COMING BACK AT THE SAME TIME EVERY YEAR!” – obviously they’re struggling desperately to find the word ‘annual’.
