	Some of these are disappointingly bad—i.e., not oxymorons. Also, I was hoping to see "Microsoft Works" in here.

	Nice subtle use of yrw umroh.

	Some of these are so so...but I totally agree with the fourth one in the second column...they're never worth it.

	I thought it was international law that any listing of oxymorons MUST include "military intelligence".

	Wait. "Adult male"? I sense a distinct amount of snark in this quiz.

	Nathan - your comment is entirely two faced. Either you don't want to see humorous oxymorons or you do, which is it? I enjoyed the chuckles personally; I come here for fun and humor. That said, I understand why some will take issue with certain choices here.

	I was hoping "Grass Torso" was right.

	"Dodge Ram" never occurred to me before. I'd also throw "Kansas City, Missouri" into the mix.

	Some of these are meant to be funny but not real oxymorons and is very misleading for an actual quiz. Maybe because I am an adult male I don't find that to be an oxymoron.

	i'm surprised this quiz has received such mixed reviews, 'cause i actually thought it was pretty clever. :D perhaps if "oxymoron" were in quotes in the description, people would realize you're not being completely literal.

	It wasn't until the time ran out that I realised the word 'oxymoron' in the title of the quiz was somewhat tongue-in-cheek... My bad!

	You don't think there's too much male-bashing in the media? Now we have to suffer it in Sporcle quizzes too? One sporcle to this quiz for propping up harmful stereotypes, AND for being inconsistent. Either make a serious quiz about real oxymorons, or one big joke quiz. Don't do half and half.

	this quiz made me laugh a few times, good job

	well maybe I'm just lucky that our cafeteria food is so good...

	@cubby -- too much male-bashing in the media? are you serious?

	Chuckles28:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 00:54 GMT	1 point
	Bwahahaha, this was amusing... I especially liked important meetings(: But I don't get the adult male one... Haha, you should've put ones like black light, or dry ice... And I agree with the first comment... Microsoft Works, lolcats(:
