So, who was holding the knife?
Last time I checked, there was -- strictly speaking -- no such word as "google". What kind of action is being described? There is "googol" -- a number equal to 10 to the 100th power (that's as good as unfathomable). But "Google", yes, that proprietary word is actually inspired by "googol" and it has entered the English language.
The word "live" is unnecessary. Putting it within quote marks makes it only a little more acceptable but it is still redundant. I am reminded of a radio announcement about a CPR course. People signing up were asked to take along a partner as there will be "live" practising sessions. So don't bring a cadaver, hor.
Wow, what an airline! Some of its planes have just four seats. I believe the intended meaning was "four seating options".
I suppose the intended meaning of this one above is obvious, at least in our local context, but it still conjures up a hilarious connotation.

Meanwhile, someone sent me these some time ago. I may even have used several in previous blog entries. But they are still good for a laugh here...
