One transcript I proofread today included the claim that of a high
school graduating class of 36, 93% had gone on to college.  What is
wrong with this picture?  (Other than the fact that I have no venue
to comment on its bogosity.)

Then on the way home on the subway, I read the Sunday comics, as
usual.  (I'm now only 16 months behind, down from 11 years.  I'll soon
have to find something new to read on the Metro.)  One of the comics
is "Slylock Fox and Comics for Kids."  It said "Cassandra Cat knows
the identity of the creep who has been making harassing hangup calls
to Slylock Fox's phone.  Cassandra made the following statements:
'I have no brothers or sisters.  The caller's father is my father's
father's son.'  If the lie detector indicates these statements are
true, who will Slylock Fox advise Chief Mutt to arrest?"  The answer
given is "Slylock advised Chief Mutt to arrest Cassandra Cat!"  This
is wrong.  Given the facts in evidence, Cassandra may well be innocent.
I guess they're training the next generation of police and prosecutors.

Then when I got home, I was promptly stung by a yellow jacket.  It
turns out there's a large nest of them on my outside window frame,
and a hole in the screen.  What's the best way to get rid of them?
