I'm Surr you think so…
They're all gonna be Surry over there.
This is of course the right place to post this! Nice.
I was a little worried, actually, but i'm so glad it worked out :)
I feel your frustration
So does my wife, poor thing, who has to put up with me telling her all the silly funny puns I make on the internet that often get downvoted (and very rarely get upvoted like this post lol)
- Can Surry afford a Y? . . .
No Surr, it cannot. Surry had to borrow the Y for now.
This is a perfect fit.
Nice
But not Nyce :)
I heard this town was also considering a city council consisting of its most eccentric and outlandish citizens. It’d be called “Surry with the Fringe on Top.”
Oh, no. That project was put on hold. The environmental impact study determined that it would cause Chicks and Ducks and Geese to scurry.
I’m glad someone got the joke.
OK
This story reminds me of an infamous gaff on the front page of a local newspaper back in 1994… back when i used to hock newspapers on a street corner. Had a lot of laughs that day.
The St. Augustine Record printed a famous, accidental front-page typo that read "100 Years of Pubic Service" instead of Public Service
haha, paper man's nightmare that. My wife's father worked for the Miami Herald for decades, although as a.... can't think of the term, reporter but not news, like life stories, public (pubic?) interest stuff. lol.
My mom worked for her local paper for a few years on the linotype machine, which I will now prove by saying ETOIN SHRDLU :)
Yah the editor in chief issued a public apology but it was talk of the town for quite a while lol. I'm sure the article is on microfiche somewhere lol.
oh wow that's interesting...yah lots of funny stories from hanging around the old print machines...when they worked properly lol.
Maybe he should have issued a pubic apology.
Hahaha Don’t think anyone wanted to see or here that
can't think of the term, reporter but not news, like life stories, public (pubic?) interest stuff.
I've seen that in the Lifestyles section or Society Pages.
Take my up vote, da childe!
hey hey HEY I can afford a y.
Oh, maybe you can't. I'm so sorr. :)
The jokes must get out there, no matter what. You are providing a good service to the world!
I don’t know if it’s my lack of brain cells left or not but I cackled loudly at this
