More grammar woes

[ChopsJazz]

I was taking a tour of the Napa Wine Country by bus (the only to go!) lately and the tour guide wanted to get people going with a few jokes. Under an oak tree she asks if anyone knows how to catch a squirrel? I replied,"Sure! You climb up a tree and show him you're nuts!"

She was horrified. I had to tell her it was Y O U ' R E not Y O U R . I still don't think she gets it.

That's an outrage!!! Get the Grammar Nazi onto it straight away...


Here's an SMS message a fren of mine sent me on her mobile... i've kept all the spacing and characters the exact same. The Grammar Nazi would turn in his grave...

Neo, It appears to be some sort of code. Possibly a subset of English. Maybe you won't be sad after all.

You're lucky that women message you, even if it is in a different language. When I approach women they call 911. But I guess that's a bit off-topic.

Ummm, so what was the tour guide's intended punch line? I can't imagine it being better than your's.

Her's was, "Climb up a tree and act like a nut." Whcih is essentially what I said!

If you don't dot your "i"s and slash your "t"s,
I'll slash your 'eyes' and blow a dot through your "t".
I will be enjoying a <U>massive</U> increase in my number of postings.
