This reminds me of a t-shirt that I have. It says:

"You say tomato, I say **** You."

I've always heard it as Willeez...I have a buddy that grew up in Boston, and he also says Willeez....hey Dr.J, I thought it was Bro-um (Brougham)?

 

Just north of Toledo where the first "Jeep" was first built it is "will eeezzz". To further waste some band width consider the following


Can you read these correctly the first time?

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

2) The farm was used to produce produce.

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse


more refuse.

4) We must polish the Polish furniture.

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in


the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he


thought it was time to present the present.

8) A b*** was painted on the head of the b***


drum.

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12) There was a row a**** the oarsmen about


how to row.

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does


are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a


sewer line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his


sow to sow.

17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed


a tear.

19) I had to subject the subject to a series of


tests.

20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.


There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.



English muffins weren't invented in England or


French fries in France.

Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.


We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?


If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural


of booth, beeth?


One goose, 2 geese


So one moose, 2 meese?


One index, 2 indices?


Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends


but not one amend?


If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid


of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?


If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?


Sometimes I think all the English speakers should


be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.


In what language do people recite at a play and play


at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the


same, while a wise man and a wise guy are


opposites?


You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a


language in which your house can burn up as it


burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling


it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers,


and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why,


when the stars are out, they are visible, but when


the lights are out, they are invisible.

PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?


You lovers of the English language might enjoy this . . .
There is a two-letter word that perhaps
has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."

It's easy to understand UP[font=Comic 
Sans MS], meaning toward the [/font]


sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken


in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting,


why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP


and why are the officers UP for election and why


is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We callUP our friends. And we use it to brighten


UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP


the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At


other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP


an appe***e, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened


UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store


in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!


To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of


UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a


desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th


of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try


building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.


It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't


give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding


UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing


UP.

When it rains, it wets the earth and often


messes things UP.

When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry


UP.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,


for now my time is UP, so............ Time to shut


UP.....!

Oh...one more thing:

What is the first thing you do in the morning


& the last thing you do at night?
