The Trentonian hasn’t stopped there. Dig today’s headline:
McMansion flame-broiled; 2 cars fried; shakes up neighborhood
Like the tale of a cricket team that was missing Cox, a star player, when they arrived at their hotel; so the captain informed the receptionist “There are ten of us without Cox”.
Columnist Gets Urologist In Trouble With Peers
Here’s some good ones.
The Smokin’ Joes hydroplane won the Columbia Cup over perennial favorite Budweiser about 10 years ago. Sports page headline…
"Joe Smokes Bud"
Not headlines, just some tasty menu items I’ve seen lately:
FOUL (a delicious Egyptian bean stew, pronounced “fool.” After a few months in Cairo you don’t even notice the spelling any more. But when you first arrive and there is FOUL on every menu, it’s alarming)
SICKY DATE SOUFFLE (just got that one two minutes ago in an email from a local restaurant)
And then, there are any number of menu items/signs in Egypt that benefit from the fact that in Arabic, there is no “p” sound, so B and P are frequently mixed up:
LEG OF LAMP
CRAP SOUP
and on the gate of just about every driveway:
NO BARKING
Sorry, I guess it’s a little bit of a stretch to post these here. But “crap soup”? Who could resist?
I’m embarrassed to say, I’m not sure what the humorous reading of this would be.
Back to front. As in, he flies bassackwards.
