"Make Sure the Hurricane is On Time"

Dumb things heard on TV:

This morning, as she discussed the weather in the Gulf of Mexico, the local CBS weather person said: "We're keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Sally, which is scheduled to become a hurricane before it makes landfall...."

Yes, indeed, we're scheduling our weather disasters now, because we don't want them piling up on us all at once. "Hey, guys, be sure Sally meets the schedule to become a hurricane at 3:20, OK? We don't want it to be late and have it overlap with our coverage of the fires in California."
