Oxymorons

[Eventer]

ox·y·mo·ron - A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.



I was reading www.dribbleglass.com the other day and came across an oxymoron that I had not thought of before.



Dodge Ram

Border Patrol

 

[skobylenski]

Border Partrol - yup, got 'em on I-91 just south of the 89 to 91 interchange in White River on the southbound side (over 100 miles south of the Canadian border, and who knows how many miles north of Mexico ..... talk about a joke, they've been there so long that anyone doing anything illegal knows how to get around them by now... . and the best part? most of them look like they came from "south of the border" (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?) (lord, i appologize for that..... now git-r-done )



Oh, right, and oxymoron... . um, let's see, jumbo shrimp is one of my favorites.
