How about these two?

Firstly, a letter home from my DS's school where the teacher has written 'Class 21 and myself have been undertaking a survey' - a teacher! I ask you, what is the world coming to? How can myself have undertaken a survey? What is wrong with I?

Secondly, a text from a friend saying her daughter has 'chicken pots'. Oh dear.

Perhaps off the original topic but our elder daughter described this disease as Chicken Fox, which rather pleased us.
