Grammar Cop: Roll Out The Barrel?

impound-barrel.jpg


Defendant: An enterprise in Utah that either leaves barrels lying around to be impounded or labels barrels that were already lying around.

Count 1: Misdemeanor spelling.

Count 2: Obstruction of clarity.

Report: Officer Wibatt of the Salt Lake City Spelling Patrol witnessed the infraction on a rusty barrel. Whether the rusty barrel is to be impounded or is simply a rusty "Impound Barrel" is unclear, though most likely could be clarified by calling the seven-digit phone number provided. Count 1 will be dropped if a man named "Removel" answers; certainly a possibility when kids you meet at the park are named "Symphonee" and "Atticus."

Fine: $75.00 and relocation of the rusty barrel to an undesirable neighborhood.

I live in Utah and I'd give it about a 50-50 chance that a guy named Removel does answer the phone. People have weird names out here. One lady was named Shegay (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Perhaps we could slap an invisible law suit on them?

Wasn't "Remov-el" the name of Superman's dad or something? Oh, never mind, that was "Jor-el". Fine 'em.

I think he's probabably Randle El's
brother. His dad couln't spell Randall properly, either.
