Well ... 'good' as far as bogus humor math goes.

Yeah. Still, I never would be able to think it up, I don't even understand half the math I'm having to do!

Gee, I wonder if I'll eventually be awarded the Nobel Cerealbox Prize for it.

They only award that when you send in 25 boxtops and $2.50 for shipping & handling.

Ok, ya got me ... I've always botched that spelling.

How exactly does one spell (phonetic substitute used here) 'woll-ahh' ? (the sound you make after successfully performing a magic trick)

but oi is different to (different from?) io.

one is computer communication and the other is angry yokel farmer communication (I/O and 'oi get off moi land')

Post by **Darb** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:01 pm

My bad - my eye missed the io oi transposition. Yeah, I know the meaning - I just perpetually botched the spelling on the latter.

Post by **Kvetch** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:11 pm

tell me, mr spelling nazi, is it different to or different from?

I honestly want to know too, and my usage and abusage is buried under a book-fall.

Post by **Darb** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:18 pm

It's "from"

Seig Heil !

Post by **Kvetch** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:44 pm

tell me, was the misspelling of sieg heil deliberate?

KVETCH:

He can't spell in English, French and German - perhaps he should try Spanish next?

Â¿Como se dice "duncecap" en EspaÃ±ol?

el cappo de dumdum?

Post by **laurie** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 10:30 pm

Sombrero rather than cappo - I think cappo may be Italian, not Spanish.

As far as I can recall, Spanish doesn't use double "P"s, but it's been a LONG time since I spoke it regularly, so I may be wrong.

/me is good example of the adage "use it or lose it."

ChoChiyo · Post by **ChoChiyo** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 10:35 pm

Probably it is more like sombrero de idioto

I was just playing with the other.

I've lost SO MUCH of my spanish vocab due to lack of practice. Sigh.

The current article on this site is hysterical: "Blue State Blues as Coastal Parents Battle Invasion of Dollywood Values".

Oi! Io is also one of the moons of Jupiter.

Ever wish you had a clever way to answer all those rejection letters? Here's how one graduate applicant chose to respond:

April 1, 1998

Graduate Admissions Committee
Department of Psychology
Big Deal University
Collegeville, USA

Dear Committee Members:

Thanks for your letter of March 30. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection at this time.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of schools, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

Despite your outstanding record and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my current career needs. Consequently, I will begin taking classes as a graduate student in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely Yours,
[Name Withheld]

Southern Christmas humor:

A man was riding through a small town when he spotted a manger scene. He stopped to admire it, but became confused when he noticed that all the wise men were wearing firefighter hats. He pondered the scene for a moment, but came to no conclusion.

Thirsty, he went inside a small store and decided to ask about the fire hats. "Ma'am," he said, "as I was riding through I couldn't help but wonder the meaning behind the wise men wearing faire hats."

"Well, don't you know?" She sounded surprised. "The wise men came from a fire."

He was still for a moment. "No they didn't. They didn't come from a fire."

In a fit of rage, she pulled a Bible from behind the counter and flipped through it violently. "You Yankees never do read the Bible!" Pointing to a verse, she extended it to me, saying, "It says right here: 'The three wisemen came from afar.'"

That is EXACTLY what Cho needs for your character in her story !

Good joke, too

That would be hilarious!
