That should be a lower case "m". Are we going to have to start taking off points for spelling too? :D

Tisk, Tisk.... I must have been mistaken.....:rolleyes:

Something you probably heard in school: "If you applied the same amount of effort, that you used to cheat, to spelling it right the first time then you wouldn't have to use double the effort to spell it right the second time". :laugh :cool2

Hi, Folks.
Welllllllll!!!!!!!!!!! This thread certainly got hijacked. And hardly a Squizzy post in sight.

Deas, they are quite talented if you give them enough rope:rolleyes:

Anyway, despite my learned forum colleagues best attempts at mastery of the spoken tongue...they do try and apply school boy english to a word which is...well... not a word. "Chevy" is a bastardisation of Chevrolet. To discuss singular or plural of word that technically doesn't exist...its well, let me put it this way...Cat is short for Caterpillar (or is otherwise a furry four legged purring crab bait)...but we don't say "how many catty's do we have on site". "Chev" or Chevs would probably got the nod from the dictionary types...being that shortening words is well accepted but "Chevy" is a colloquialism without grammatical reason.

But I used the red teacher pen to mark the mistake......

Thinking Time.

Hi, Countryboy.
Would I be right in guessing that it didn't you anything like all of the 60 seconds in the minute that you requested to come up with that answer? Maybe somewhere closer to 2 or 3 seconds even???????? LOL.

Accident at the Guinness Brewery

Brenda O'Malley is home as usual, making dinner, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door. "Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya."

"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"

"That's what I'm here to be tellin' ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."

"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me..."

"I must, Brenda. Your husband Seamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."

Brenda reached a hand out to her side, found the arm of the rocking chair by the fireplace, pulled the chair to her and collapsed into it. She wept for many minutes. Finally she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"

"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."

"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"

"Well, no Brenda... No."

"No?"

"Fact is, he got out three times to pee."

Those of you in the States... ever been to a brewery? I went to the Anheuser-Busch in Colorado... it was interesting. (I was way underage at the time, so I didn't drink, but it's a neat experience.)
