Unintentional humor (humour?) of the day...

So this evening I received an e-mail. Nothing too out of the ordinary right? Well, the aforementioned e-mail happened to be from Michael, my supremely useless study abroad advisor in the states. The e-mail was a mass-mailing to all students abroad for the academic year reminding us to register for our special study abroad placeholder class for spring. The fairly unassuming, uninteresting, and uninspiring e-mail ended with this gem straight out of some essay about racism in the 19th century or "Gone with the Wind" or something:

"I hope you are all doing well in your place..."

Why he did not simply say "in your respective countries" or "on your programs" or even just "abroad" I will never know. And yet, I am grateful because I have not stopped giggling yet. Thanks a bundle, Mike. Keep up the good work!
