Return of the Spellin' Felon

It has been almost 2 years since I last saw signs of him, but the Spellin' Felon has returned and I found him across town.

He was last spotted in Lewisville, TX making signage problems that can be seen here and here, but as I was driving back from the Jim Gaffigan show on Friday, I saw he has moved up to a new grade and a new town about 40 miles SE of Lewisville.

I guess even though his spelling leaves something to be desired, he was able go graduate up in grade to make it to Junior High after his stint at Marshall Durham Middle School.

I don't know what is worse, that they spelled council with two Qs or that they didn't at least put the Us after it so they rule of U following Q was at least followed.

I guess I will have to keep a keen eye out for more of this hoodlum's escapades.

TBWCYL Day 287 - Funny Ha Ha!

Yesterday was an easy, and funny task. I had to find a joke I liked and tell it to people and gauge by their reaction if I tell jokes well enough to become a stand up comic. I told the below joke to 5 people of different sexes, ages and ethnicity to get a good sampling.

One day a hippie gets a ride on a public bus and sees a hot young nun. He sits down next to her and promptly asks if she would like to have sex, to which she immediately says no and walks off the bus. The bus driver leans over and says “

Hey guy I know how to get that nun to have sex with you…”

Naturally the hippie asks, and the bus driver tells him that every night at midnight the nun goes to an old graveyard to pray for god to forgive her for her past, and that he should dress up like god and tell the nun she will be forgiven if she has sex with you. The hippie gives his thanks and runs to the nearest costume shop.

Later that evening the hippie gets ready for his big night and drives down to the graveyard and sees the nun praying, on her knees. He says “Behold, I have heard your prayers and you shall be forgiven if you have sex with me!”

The nun agrees but asks if they can have anal sex in order to keep her virginity. The hippie agrees and once they are finished the hippie jumps back and pulls off his mask and says “Surprise, its me the Hippie!”

The nun jumps up and pulls off her mask and says “Surprise, its me the bus driver!”

I liked this joke so I told it and got some decent laughs. Some thought the joke was "wrong", my father laughed loudly and then claimed it wasn't funny, and my wife giggled but thought it was gross.

I don't think it was good enough to get me into a career and since I didn't come up with it to begin with, I may not have the writing chops to really do well with this so I am going to have to stick with being random and making people laugh that way.

Spelling Follies - Part duh

Well, the Spellin' Felon has struck again. This was found at the same school a couple of weeks ago and I am just getting around to posting about it. It seems that Marshall Durham Middle School has a prankster in their midst. I am not sure what class Scince is but I know it wasn't part of the curriculum back when I was in 6th Grade.

Somehow I doubt this will be the last spelling error I will find.

We Don't Need No Education

We stumbled accross proof yesterday that the public skool system is working in full swing. Diana and I we're driving along near our house and went buy one of the local schools.

I was staring out the window when I looked and noticed the sign out front looked incorrect. We turned around and went back to the skool so I could snap a picture of what we saw.

I am not sure who was responsible for the spelling errors on the Marshall Durham Middle School sign but I will say that as a hole, this is completely unacceptable. Not only does it show that the skool system is failing in Lewisville, but it also insults veterans.

I was shocked when I saw the sign and the irony in it is just amazing. Are we really living in a society that would tolerate this? I think that if I were a parent and was that the school my child attends had that sign outside, I would march into the Principals office and ask them what kind of facility they were running. It may be a kids idea of a prank but for it to be there on a Saturday shows a complete disregard for education.

I was a product of the Midland public skool system and I turned out O.K. so I can only hope this is an isolated incodent.

That is all,
