Things that make ya go " ahhh what ? "

I had to head up to La Jolla today ( gawd I hate driving now ) and when I exited the fwy I saw a San Diego City College sign, ( Clarmont Campus ) draped across the building facing the street was a banner saying " Free Classes - Learn english as second language " my first reaction was WTF, my tax dollars going to pay for free english lesson so someone to use it as a second languge ?, give me a F'n break.

Then it dawned on me, if you don't already speak english, how the hell are you going to read the sign ??


Just one of those things that make ya wonder......................wft


btw remember the guy in Apocalypse Now yelling " Don't get off the boat, never get off the boat ".................I'm beginning to relate, too much weird stuff going on
