I received a card yesterday that says 'i hope the worsh is over for you."

Whats really funny about this though, is that people who sent it live in an area where "wash" is pronounced "worsh," and people say "i have my clothes in the worsh." so the first thing I thought was "they're hoping I don't have any dirty laundry right now :D


It gave me a good chuckle

Not to long ago I told someone over chat that I get annoyed when my boyfriend goes a few days without shoving (shaving). He picked up on that right away, and I played along asking him if he would want to cuddle with someone who never shoved him

I love all the funny misspellings and other comical things that people submit to Jay Leno of "The Tonight Show" and that he presents in his opening headlines.

Recently, someone submitted a newspaper ad to Jay Leno..."LOST: creamy, white puddle missing and loved dearly..."it was supposed to be "poodle."

Yeah my grandpa does that a lot even while speaking. I hate it when he does that and his only excuse is, "I come from a downtrodden family that live on little."

Whatever that means. :lol:

He uses some real strange words in place of other words even in writing espeacially that worsh.

"Busses", on a sign, in front of the school.

...that doesn't make sense. (For the record, it's "buses".)

Actually they're both correct when writing the plural of bus. Its like wharfs and wharves - both are correct

I love Jay Leno's Headlines!

My favorite headlines recently have involved cats. There was a picture of a Siamese floating over a bed and an ad for kittens that said, "Mother Siamese, father very successful." I have had two Siamese, both with Siamese fathers and tabby mothers.
