For you clueless urbanites out there.
There are multiple reasons why the quarry thing is funny.
The autocorrect story of Bo’s boss is funny as hell IMO.
The sitcom where the odd character uses the phrase is funny because the odd character says something odd (not that there is anything wrong with that).
And finally…
IF YOU lived in the fucking middle of nowhere before the glorious days of cable/satellite TV, not to mention the awesome fucking internet, back when you might be lucky to get three TV channels (with reruns galore) and some hippy guy on PBS painting “happy little trees” over and over again, you could be bored to shit.
And it was double fun if you were poorish, youngish, and the “local” (like 20 mile away) library sucked.
So, in those circumstances, going down to the local quarry beat masturbating for the third time that day. And what the fuck are gonna do when you get there?
Throw some shit in there of course.
I didn’t even have a quarry. I had swamp. And not even big cool swamp. Not deep enough to float in, but not firm enough to walk in. So, you got to the edge and looked at it.
I’ve have killed for a quarry.
Oh, the illegal garbage dumps in the middle of the woods were the coolest things we had to go to. Might find a dirty magazine or some mechanical thingy to play with.
I can relate to quarries.
Hmmm. I’m toying with a new signature I should always sign out with. Might have to make it magenta.
You know I’m right. You just won’t admit it. Billfish678.
