BP PC OMG!
The oil giant BP was slammed after an unself-aware tweet asked people to find out what their personal carbon footprint was with their new calculator and suggested they "share your pledge" to save the planet. It backfired, big time.
One response went for sarcasm: "Ooh BP, you've
made me feel guilty about my lifestyle so I've completely forgotten about all the $$$ that you've spent funding climate denial and extracting more oil despite the fact that it's killing us all. Thanks!" Another fired back with this: "I pledge not to spill 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico".

TO THE PATRIOTIC UNMARRIED LADIES — I am a soldier, just returned from the wars. Have lost a leg, but expect to get a cork one; have a useless arm, but will be called brave for it; was once good-looking, but am now scarred all over. If any patriotic young lady will marry me, why fall in line! The applicant must be moderately handsome, have an excellent education, play on the piano and sing; and a competency will not be objectionable. One with these requirements would, doubtless, secure my affections.
