This reminded that I rather like oxymorons. Anybody else got any good ones?Originally posted by Miss Meow
"Schwarzenegger, a moderate Republican, ..."
Isn't that an oxymoron?
I found this on the CIA site recently: “The George Bush Center for Intelligence”
Or how about:
“Business Ethics” and “Corporate Responsibility”
… and there are signs, such as “Guaranteed used cars”.
(Nice to know there’s NO chance of getting a new one.)
I also liked the billboard on the motorway which said “Brake and clutch parts”.
Any more? Better perhaps?
