Just a few questions;

Is a traffic "single" the same as unmarried traffic?
Is "Chitty chatting" when a Chitty talks too much?
Is "Morris" Blvd. named after the nine lives cat? :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Really, God forbid you offend anybody for any reason regardless of what you see. Illegal aliens are just that, NOT "UNDOCUMENTED". The bullpen is where relief pitchers warm up NOT "THE ARM BARN". Something that is grammatically gibberish should be pointed out. And why do universities need "free speech zones" in a country founded on free speech? Yet there are people, even on this site, that defend this type of nonsense.
For my part, if I post something in gibberish, or something completely factually off base, please call me out on it, I won't consider it a "joke at my expense":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: (But you better be correct, since you know what they say about payback:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:)

And not to let another error by you in this thread go by... Apparently your wife, who is allowed to drive, also is good at using her I phone. [post #14] What's an I phone? Is it different than a U phone? Or is the reader likely to know that your I phone is really, correctly, an iPhone? Just like I knew single was signal, Chitty chatting was Chatty, and Morris was Morse. Should I now add the obligatory three laughing heads emoji?

I often have errors even though I check before hitting "submit post". I figure that, as with myself, most errors are the result of "autocorrect" which will change words, spelling and punctuation even after submitting the post. I don't think it is supposed to work that way, but, at least on my tablet, it sometimes does.
I just fixed 4 errors that "autocorrect" changed on the above section. Let's see what happens this time.

No. I don't mock or belittle. I do, however, have the ability to laugh AT myself and to laugh WITH others who are able and willing to laugh at themselves.
Mocking, belittling comes from meanness. I am not inherently mean, I would never knock your ice cream cone out of your hand. But, if a seagull swooped down and stole it from you, I would laugh, hysterically. I would then offer to buy you another.

Illegal aliens are just that, illegal, and by their very presence in our country they have committed a felony against the citizens of the United States. The woke culture and the PC police has renamed these criminals "undocumented", which is terrible euphemism for their crime.

I was not "mocking" the OP, in fact I sympathize with his lack of vision in his left eye for reasons I've already stated. I was making a humorous comment about the words that were put in the post. Yet several people got their undies in a bunch over a little joke as if I told them their mother wore army boots. It was not "cruel" to the OP, it was a joke, , and in my opinion, one needs to have a "wokeness" level of 7 or higher to feel offended by it.

Once had a comedian explanation of humor that went something like this.
All jokes, things folks find funny have to have a butt to the joke, be it a person, animal, place or thing.
Example of person might be a "blond" joke or child putting their spaghetti bowl on their head.
Example of animal might be dog butt scooting.
Always a butt or focus point for humor. The supposed injury is not serious or fatal.
"Man falls three floors, hits sidewalk, bounces once and lands on feet then walks casually away" - funny.
"Man falls three floors, splat, dead" - not funny.

Now, OP, pointed out that traffic signal is needed. Good, but serious and not funny. OP's post, for whatever reason had errors of various kinds. No one hurt as a result of post that many of others here found some humor in. No real or lasting harm intended or done.

To OP, thanks for bringing attention to a traffic problem. Also, I hope you were not offended by the fun some of us enjoyed as a result of minor errors we had some fun with.

What else can we have fun with. Oh, if anyone sees me fall flat on my ass, please finish laughing be for asking if I'm ok.
