> [@jjimm](#): > > When I lived in Oxford, someone had got black paint and painted out the “C” of CANAL STREET. It used to brighten my day. Then some miserable fucker came and painted a white C back on the front of the word. I like to think the original black-paint guy (only a guy would do that) painted it black again, and their war of ass-trition went on like this for months. Wow. That’s great!

> [@Zsofia](#): > > Oh, I forgot one! There’s a transportation company or something called Glasscock, and all their stuff has “GLASSCOCK” in giant letters on it. Sometimes a car or truck is parked where your view of the “GL” is obstructed. It is never, ever, ever not funny. I knew a guy in school named Jimmy Glasscock. We could always see him coming. ---

I used to work in Aluminum plant and spent anodes were called butts. We were having some production problems with the anodes splitting. One of the engineers wrote a pretty report but it lost credibility when he reported observations like “Big butts have big cracks and little butts have little cracks”. ---
