boondoggle quixotically

Some words are so curious they're almost human, make you want to chuckle to yourself about both their truth and their absurdity. I give you two which made my day;

Boondoggle (n): work of little or no value done merely to look busy
(v): to do useless, wasteful or trivial work

Quixotically (adv): in a quixotic manner
Quixotic (adj): not sensible about practival matters; idealistic and unrealistic
