[Ads-l] satyr = satirist?

[James A. Landau]

At a committee meeting to plan an upcoming brunch, someone said that we needed a humorous rather than a serious speaker.  His words were, "We need a comedian or a satyr".

Off-topic:  a woman describing a wedding said, "all the bridesmaids and all the groomsmaids..."

Oxymorons:

A drawbridge is open when it is closed and closed when it is open.

A postpaid mailer is prepaid.
