Local woman misuses “begs the question”
for 67th straight week
Congratulations, Louise Parker. You truly are the Cal Ripken of butchering well-known phrases.
With innumerable misuses of “ironic” still fresh in everyone’s memory, the 54-year-old secretary at General Controls, 34 E. Main St., is riding an incredible hot streak.
Thursday in the GC breakroom, she extended her run of misusing the term “which begs the question” to 67 weeks in a row.
“I remember this week’s edition clearly,” said Cliff Shultz, a co-worker, “We were sitting there, and Lou says, ‘This microwave pizza sure is tasty, which begs the question: What am I going to have for dinner.’
“I had an over-under bet with Hal from sales. I gave him Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I had Thursday and Friday. Pay the man, Hal.”
When asked about her foibles, Parker responded: “It’s a slippery slope to point out people’s errors, especially when they’re not really errors.”
