The shit that doesn't merit its own thread (the resurrection)

Hope you use tender hooks for your bait :smiley:

Walking around the local auction this morning I spotted a pile of music papers from the 60’s. I liked the competition they were running in this one.

Intrigued, I had to look closer.

I see that the charity supposedly set to benefit from the readers’ 4d stamps was called ‘Little Sisters of the Poor’. One can only imagine what other kinds of assistance and support Sir Jimmy was able to offer them. Ugh.

I think a lot of these errors are because people have never seen the words written and only have an oral reference.
my Dad was a carpenter and I was used to hearing building terms used but never saw them written down. In the 70s with Central Heating being more common lots of people were knocking dining rooms and lounges through to make one big room which often involved a bit of thought to the structural integrity of the house.

I had heard a lot about an ‘Irish Jay’ and knew exactly what they were used for when a load bearing wall was knocked down.

I think I was about 16 or 17 before I saw the term ‘Rolled Steel Joist’ written down and it dawned on me what an RSJ actuallly was.

When I was little I believed that Franks and Artra were a double act, in the same vein as Peters and Lee

We all must have instances of getting it wrong. When I was young (seven or eight) When I saw signs out side houses with For Sale “Apply Within” written on them I thought they were selling apple cake rather than the house. Fortunately my parents stopped me knocking on the doors to ask for some.

One of my mates had a caravan and he always pronounced his Awning as Hawning. None of us ever corrected him.

A bit like 90% of the population have started pronouncing “aitch” as “haitch” :rage::rage::rage:

Janbald was about to throw darts at a very busy Newcastle pub and asked “am I standing on the right jockey?”

Sister in law was paying for petrol by cheque “who do I make the cheque out to”?
The pump attendant had a garage stamp so said “I’ll Stamp it” So SIL wrote R Stampit on the cheque.

Perhaps you should consult a horrorscope.

This prompts the philosophical question - “So, when you sniff Jimmy Savile’s saddle, are you sniffing all the saddles he’s ever sniffed?”.

Shame on y’all doubters…

“It’ll just be a complete waste of your fucking time.”

Is this really meant in a literal way?

Of course, it is from Viz, so it is literally true. :smirk:

It’s 2318. Olan gets on his hoverboard, glides over to his PC and posts jokes in the wrong thread.

The same year that Mark stops stressing about the contents of ‘The shit that doesn’t merit its own thread’, aka the content dumpster. :roll_eyes:
