I know I’m immature because… I still giggle at Beavis and Butthead, and think Ren and Stimpy were comedic geniuses. ---

I got way too big of a kick out of being able to write “cat fud” on my shopping list this week. ---

In the UK, apartments, warehouses, office spaces and homes aren’t “For Rent”, they are “To Let”. I wanted to grab a Sharpie and add an “i” to every sign I saw! There is one blue building right next to Heathrow with giant letters in individual windows, but the construction of the building is such that the spacers between the windows really looks like it reads TOILET. Cracks me up every time I see it! I can’t seem to find it on Streetview, though - I don’t remember what side of the airport it’s on, and not every road in the area has been mapped. ---

I thought of the same thing the first time I saw one of those signs when I went to England in HS. Out-of-towners tend to giggle at [this sign.](http://www.getoffonbigbeaver.com/) It’s an I-75 exit in Michigan. For me at least, the sign was such a common sight since before I had any inclination as to the…other…meanings inherent in those words that it was an extremely long time before I made a connection. ---

> [@Rafe\_Hollister](#): > > I listen more intently just in the hope of being able to say, “That’s what she said!” Mine is similar; it’s for when someone says a word that ends in “er.” Someone: “That player just hit his third homer.” Me: “Homer?

Hee hee. I went to school in Bowling Green, OH and giggled at that sign many times, on my way to concerts at whatever enormous outdoor venue is up that way. (Can’t remember the name anymore; am I officially an old fart?) ---

There is a tiny village on the Shetland Islands called (no, I’m not making this up) Twat. When my former boyfriend and I were there, we must have spent three hours looking for a sign to take a picture of but, apparently, they had either all been stolen or the village folk got tired of idiots taking pictures of themselves with the signs. ---

Howzabout [Fucking, Austria?](http://www.snopes.com/photos/signs/austria.asp) I did my undergrad in Fargo, North Dakota, and two nearby towns were named Fertile and Climax. The running joke was the idea of a newspaper headline, “Fertile Woman Marries Man in Climax,” though I don’t know that I ever saw it in print. ---

The running joke was the idea of a newspaper headline, “Fertile Woman Marries Man in Climax,” though I don’t know that I ever saw it in print. IA has Fertile and Manly and the story is simiilar. “Fertile Woman Marries Manly Man.” I can’t help but giggle at butt sounds. My BIL intones, “Speak, oh Toothless One.” and I am helpless. And speaking of road signs, while I’ve never done it, I am sorely tempted to have spouse taking a photo of me mooning the camera by the sign East of Sturgis, S.D. which reads “Bear Butte.” ---

My boss was making the schedule for next week, and we divvy up jobs sometimes. This week, Daphne is doing PC and OPS, but the font used crams the C and O together, so PC/OPS looks like DAPHNE POOPS.
