    Just ordered a take-away as half the threads on AH have me famished and noticed that something I ordered was an oxymoron:

    Jumbo Shrimp.

    So that would be my choice, what's yours?

    I bought the new miPhone, it's definitely an improvement over the last version.

    Makes sense no?

    Ever noticed that it's simply impossible to find seriously funny oxymorons online? The only choice is to ask one of those paid volunteers at the library – the ones in the long-sleeved T-shirts – for an original copy of some obviously obscure documents that were found missing amongst some paperwork almost exactly one hundred years ago.
