36 to go, stuck, bbl maybe

3:39 pm

dcseain

i see that a round tuit is in the grud, but not in the dictionary.

4:02 pm

Gillie

ok, "grud" is obviously "grid", but what is "a round tuit"?

4:14 pm

rururocks

obviously the grud is not in tuit

4:16 pm

Gillie

well, if he's talking about the word that contains tuit, it is in most dictionaries, I think

4:18 pm

rururocks

(watches another joke just sail away)

4:18 pm

Gillie

sorry! I'm just much too serious, I guess

4:19 pm

rururocks

yeah... I kind of guessed that

4:19 pm

Gillie

(I did realize you were making a joke, but I was still baffled about dcseain's comment)

4:20 pm

Gillie

I'm a bit OCD

4:20 pm

rururocks

A bit?

4:21 pm

Gillie

well, I've never been diagnosed, per se...

4:22 pm

Cathyar

lol...the tuit is based off an old joke with the punchline, I'll do it when I get a round tuit. I heard it years ago, but don't remember how it goes.

4:23 pm

Gillie

ok - I did think it sounded vaguely familiar, somehow

4:40 pm

suefrad625

cool

4:46 pm

dcseain

exactly cathyar! I learned it from Nancy the Button Lady.

4:48 pm

Cathyar

Seain, my dad had an old envelope filled with written jokes (some pretty racy) and this was one of them...written on a round piece of paper and it implied that was, in fact, THE round tuit.

4:48 pm

dcseain

was it caligraphic?

4:49 pm

Cathyar

Hmmm...perhaps. I don't recall. But it started, "This is a round tuit..." then I don't remember the rest of it. lol

5:08 pm

dcseain

not from nancy then. She just had a calligraphic TUIT in a circle.

6:00 pm

rururocks

imagines the joke involves saying I'll get a round tuit

6:01 pm

MollyL

Jokes in this place rarely go anywhere. It is a very dry, word nerdy bunch.

6:01 pm

dcseain

indeed, ruru.
