Things you wish you could say

I can't seem to find the "right" place to put this, so here is were I will:

I wouldn't have thought I'd get excited over a neighbor getting chickens, but I am.

Are they getting them from you?

Are they getting them from you?

No, I should have said having. A little back as driving by, I noticed a coop. I couldn't tell if it was new or cut undergrowth made it visible. Today I could see a bird and hear a crow. Maybe we can trade fertile eggs? IDK, but exciting nonetheless.

 

[R2elk]

No, you did not!

That is what it said on his Driver License when we filled out the FFL forms.

If you spell your child's name in a "unique" way, or just flat out make it up, don't be offended when I can't pronounce it correctly on the first try.

Yup.

I worked with someone who grew up with a girl they called Groovy. Her full name on her birth certificate was Groovy Tits. Why would anyone do that to a kid?

A coworker told me a woman in FL was pissed at her absent boyfriend (or husband?) and gave their baby girl a name pronounced "ash oh lay." But she spelled it Asshole.

I don't know if this one is true. Pronunciation "shi thade" which is ok, but not when you spell it Shithead.

Saw this on an actual baby birth announcement. "We proudly welcome "Bessie Pretty on Top."
Come on! It's a baby, not a race horse or a show dog.

About 15-20 years ago, a local school had kids spelling words "how they thought they should be spelled." I would have loved to gone back in time and said, "My name is spelled, S-A-8-L-L-Y. The 8 is silent."

I sold a rifle to Human R. Person.

I got a shotgun for my ex-wife.


I thought it was a good trade.

You will probably end up with a much worse deal if you try to trade the current wife.

I could get a lot more for her, but I'd never live to shoot it.
No. I waited too long for this one to come along. I KNOW what I got.

I had a student named MST. That was her first name, spelled just like that. Not initials. Her name.

Was it pronounced Misty?
