The Wizard of Id has been enchanting audiences since 1964, but the real wizards behind this comic classic were artist Brant Parker and writer Johnny Hart.
The pair began paving the path to the Kingdom of Id in 1950, when Parker, a staff artist for the Binghamton Press in upstate New York, was asked to judge a high school art contest. Among the entrants was a teenager by the name of Johnny Hart, whose work so impressed Parker that he arranged a meeting.

For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, faced each other in a city park until one day, an angel came down from heaven.
“You’ve been such exemplary statues,” the angel said, “that I’m going to give you a special gift. I’m going to bring you both to life for thirty minutes, during which time you can do anything you want.”
With a clap of his hands, the angel brought the statues to life.
The two approached each other a bit shyly and dashed for the bushes, from whence there came a good deal of giggling, laughter, and shaking of branches.
Fifteen minutes later, the two statues emerged from the bushes with wide grins on their faces.
“You still have fifteen more minutes,” said the angel, winking at them.
Grinning even more broadly, the female statue turned to the male statue and said, “Great! Only this time you hold the pigeon down and I’ll poop on it’s head!”

It’s The only crowd that is interested in Pharaoh worship; I wish it were that way here in the USA.

Its head. Not it’s. It’s means “it is,” so when you write “it’s head” you are writing “it is head.” How people can continue to make such a first-grade level mistake is beyond me. But it’s sad. See? IT IS SAD. Possessive its has NO APOSTROPHE.

As important as rules of grammar may be to some, let us not forget simple etiquette
Ever hear about “If you don’t have something nice to say, say nothing at all”?

I am so happy to find a kindred soul who loves our language as much as I do.
We are an endangered species. Please don’t ever stop.
My children and I, when we watch TV,
are so accustomed, when they hear someone say, “Lay down” they know I’m going to mutter, “lie”, and they say it before do.
If you can ever educate the public to grasp the difference between ‘lay’ and
‘lie,’ you’ll go down in history!

Yes, much better to be polite and repeat the error, so that it will be passed down through the generations until no one can tell the difference, thus bastardizing our beautiful language.
