Van Pelted


A colleague who sits across from me wanted to make light of the fact that a lot of people had been stopping by his desk to chat, gossip or ask for advice. He settled on putting up a sign that read
"The psychiatrist is in - 5 cents".

The problem with his sign was that it actually read
The physiciatrist is in - 5 cents".

The sign I placed underneath it constitutes a good deed in my humble estimation. It reads
"The spelling bee champion is next door - no charge".

Hah! Well done, sir. Reminds me of a gang member years ago, who had a custom airbrushed tee shirt made with his gang colors, and on the shirt it also said "chief enfrocer"

Whether the thug specified the spelling and the tee shirt vendor was too scared to correct him, or the tee shirt artist was the dummy, we never found out.

Well done, you!

Cormac Brown said...

Good going Dale, that is so much better than going with a Kreskin/Miss Cleo joke.

Les Becker said...

Maybe a "physiciatrist" is one of those New-Age, Mind-Body-Soul" doctors. He'll heal your phsyche (did I spell that right?) by telling you not to eat the burrito for breakfast...

Barbara Bruederlin said...

Dude may be a good speller, he just doesn't know when to stop adding syllables.

Esther said...

You rule and you are so generous, giving of yourself like that!

Tanya Espanya said...

Ahahah! Excellent.

My brother claims there was a guy in the army with him who had a tattoo that read:

Kung Fu Fihgting

My favourite sign is on my local garage on the vacuum cleaner hire thing that reads, "Loonies Only".

HEEEE!!!! Is that only funny to ME?

A physiciatrist treats mental properties of the human body. Say, for example, that rubbing a certain ointment on your arm makes it smart. A physiciatrist could subsequently estimate it's IQ.

Actually, I'm saddened to hear that spelling bee champs don't make as much as they used to.

You could be on to something Les. Wait, no, you're not.

He's an interesting drinker, I mean, man Barbara.

Always with the giving, that's me Esther.

That's pretty awesome Tanya. I wonder if his claim was true?

Just a reasonably good speller Princess, it makes me feel superior.

I deserve a raise X. Dell, no question.

No you don't Katrocket, this is the funniest thing that's happened there in months.

It's one of them GT, it doesn't take much to get me all fired up.

Wonderturtle! Hello! Thanks!

Rizzo says hi CP!

I was 'it' in 6th Grade Tenacious S. We should have some sort of meeting.

Oh to be clutched by you again Beckeye! We'll have a match the next time I make it there and if I can make it there...

I only fall for the same thing two to three times DCap so yes, I'll get the football.

Say it over and over Wendy B!
