I had to work on a PowerPoint presentation this week for our sales manager.  One of the things [...]]]> This week’s Caption Fun Friday is a little different.  I came across something that just made me snort and I wanted to share it with all 140 of you who read this thing with any sort of regularity.

I had to work on a PowerPoint presentation this week for our sales manager.  One of the things that was bothering me while working with PowerPoint was that I couldn’t figure out how to make the text wrap around an image.  It was really getting frustrating.  Normally these things are pretty self explanatory – some sort of button or right click (even WordPress has a text wrap function when you upload an image), but not so with PowerPoint, so I had to resort to using their Help button and doing a search for ‘wrap text’.  What I found, is what made me snort/amused me to no end.

1) There is no such function in PowerPoint.

2) They have detailed instructions on how to ‘work around this’:

As I said, this just amused me so much.  If you want to wrap your text, create multiple text boxes and SURROUND the image…

You can’t make this stuff up…

Tonight, I got home a little late, was making dinner and wanted something on the tv to distract me.

Tonight, I got home a little late, was making dinner and wanted something on the tv to distract me. There was nothing ‘good’ on – which means there was nothing that I particularly cared for.  I did notice that ‘Million Dollar Password’ was on and it said Shatner was a guest.  He’s always good for a laugh, so I checked it out.

Holy crap.  He was TERRIBLE!  I felt SO BAD for the poor people he got teamed with!!  He missed the easiest words!  In case you don’t know the concept, 2 people play together as a team.  One sees the ‘password’ and the other has to guess what it is based on the one word clues of the other.  Example: Mouse.  You might say ‘Cat’ and the person gueses ‘Mouse’.  Get enough of these correct and you can win.

If you’re teamed with Shatner, you aren’t going to win…  which inspired this bonus ‘Caption Fun Comic’:

The only sign I’ve seen that could possibly top this one was one that read: “Please do not flick boogers onto the door as I am tired of cleaning them up.”
