Reading that "suspect wetlands vegetation was observed adjacent to the site" and imagining a bunch of weeds wearing hoodies and flashing gang signs.
Moments only a copy editor would find funny:

Yow! This is exciting, even if it ultimately ends in rejection (as so many of my submissions do):
This is a quick note to let you know that our readers really enjoyed "Dead Streets" and have passed it to the editors' desk. For that reason, we'd like to hold on to it for just a little longer. Regardless of the outcome of your submission, we wanted to let you know that we enjoy your work and we'd love to see more from you. -The Editors Update: Nope. Two editors voted to accept it, two didn't. Good feedback, though. And I think if I revise it with their criticism in mind, I can make it into a stronger story that I'll be able to sell somewhere else. Sometimes, the hardest thing about writing is seeing what needs to be revised. |

I read. I write. And sometimes I talk about it.
