BJ's Bestseller
Was checking out at BJ's and saw this end cap. This joke writes itself. BJ's Bestseller - "Hard Choices", by Hillary Clinton
Lost in Google Voice Translation
It turns out Google Translate isn't that accurate, but when you read back to it the transcript, it's gets nearly every word on the second translation.
My sister just left me a really long voice mail. This is nothing out of the ordinary, we are generally known for leaving long rants about nothing on each others phones. I always look forward to listening to them because they are highly entertaining, and I know it's probably just me, but I save every one.
You can listen to the latest message she left below, and the corresponding voicemail transcript provided by Google, which is a rather enjoyable read, and the reason for this post.
Original Voice mail
Listen to the original voice mail below:
Google Voice Transcript
Read what Google thought she was saying below and notice, Google didn't miss that she was indeed babbling.
The transcript was so off the mark, it was hilarious. It read so weird and creepy and disjointed. Exactly like my sister! Google knows everything! So, I had my sis call back and leave the Google transcript version on my voice mail as well. I was hoping it would translate it back to the original...but just listening to the nonsense had me on the floor laughing, so here it is for your enjoyment.

My sister leaving the Google Transcript version on my voice mail.
And if you've gotten this far, here's a transcript of the transcript below, which is surprisingly VERY accurate.

It didn't translate it back like I had hoped, but it was much more accurate when you read what they thought you said originally.

Open Mic - Bethlehem Brew Works - 3.3.13
Tonight felt really good to get up on stage. I tried something unusual tonight...I tried being funny! It actually worked out well. No actually, I tried standing still. I have this problem when I do comedy that I move around too much. Almost as if a guy is in the back of the room with a shotgun pointed at me. So tonight, I tried standing in one spot, using the mic stand as my fixture to lean on. I felt much more comfortable and at ease on stage. I will continue trying that and mixing it up with free style when the joke calls for it. Here is my setlist from tonight:
Applesauce
Plain Casket
Gyro
All State
Compassion
Coach Purse
Redbox
The Friendliest Dentist in Town
I know it's a dive, he doesn't have his Doctorate in Dental medicine and he pulls teeth with pliers....but he's SUPER nice! You have to give him a chance. Book your next cleaning here!
Quick tip: they can only see 1 patient at a time due to limited occupancy, so make your appointment in advance.
Go Go Gadget Website!
Hey there! This is my new website. It's a work in progress, so please pardon our appearance while I tidy up. I'm beta testing some new software, and decided my comedy site would be a fitting Guinea pig. Have a look around and feel free to drop me a line....of cocaine.
