Taco truck sign

[KS Toronado]

[Hugh_Lebowski]

1. If you're going to take the time to do a clever sign like this, there should be an asterisk*

*I'm just saying.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

2. Asterisks are the work of the devil!*

*Or so I've been told.

[rsdsharp]

3. I thought they were the work of Ford Frick*

*61

[twodogsbarking]

5. I once owned a frickin' ford pinto. *

*Won't reveal my real identity.

[leftieNanner]

6. But did you have Firestone*

*Tires?

[COL Mustard]

13. I don't blame you*

*We were all young once!

[rubbersole]

32. Don't be ashamed...*

...*that you didn't want to have sex.

[okaawhatever]

54. That was unnecessary *

*But funny as hell! 😀😀😀

[rubbersole]

56. Cruelty jokes. 🤓

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. And sometimes two seemingly-unrelated* things are simultaneously true

* author not responsible for reader interpretation of what things are related, and not

[NJCher]

11. Let's phone the apostrophe police

Remember the apostrophe police? I think they were mostly in the UK. It was a group of people who would go around with tape and correct signs that had incorrect possessives.

Wonder if they're still around and can do asterisk duty.

[COL Mustard]

14. I get you're meaning

I, personally, am of the, comma police variety, myself. Commas make the difference between "Let's eat, kids" and "Lets eat kids"!!!

[Sogo]

19. Ha Ha Ha....

I used to teach remedial English to first year students whose writing skills were deficient entering their freshman year in college. I used this sentence in teaching about the importance of commas:

Where would you put the comma in this sentence? "God rest ye merry gentlemen."

[soldierant]

29. After "merry."

[Sogo]

37. In fact, it can be after any of the words in that sentence (try it).

Changes the meaning with each placement....that's why it was such a good teaching tool....

[soldierant]

50. It can be.

But the historical meaning places it after "merry."

[Attilatheblond]

51. Yep, and I like it best after the word God. (n/t)

[niyad]

31. merry.

[Sogo]

38. In fact, it can be after any of the words in that sentence (try it).

Changes the meaning with each placement....That's why it's such a good teaching tool....

[niyad]

40. My choice of comma placement was based on the title of a novel I read

recently.

One of my favourite examples gives insight into specific mindsets. How does one puncttuate this:

woman without her man is nothing

[Sogo]

41. I like that you pointed out your comma placement was a choice,

because depending upon the meaning you wish to convey, it is a choice.

Your example is a good one....

My choice -
Woman: without her, man is nothing.


Cons would have us believe:
Woman, without her man, is nothing.

[niyad]

42. Exactly.

[Danascot]

23. The comma police,

the asterisk police, the apostrophe police and the rest of them don't speak to each other. They're worse than Baptist Church sub-denominations.

[sprinkleeninow]

45. Is there hyphenated law enforcement 🤔 🤭

[Danascot]

46. I knew

as I was wrote it that someone would tip off the hyphen police.

[sprinkleeninow]

57. I was asking bc I myself am frequently guilty of that infraction.

😆

[SCantiGOP]

20. Their is no reason

for they’re grammar to be there fault.

[Probatim]

39. Theiy're - I fixed it for you...

[SCantiGOP]

43. Thanks

[Codifer]

27. If I recall correctly,

Kurt Vonnegut used an * to represent ... um... something.

[crickets]

34. My mother settled on the couch with a library book one afternoon

and not very far into the book, she started giggling.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing." *gigglesnort*

I peeked at the book blurb later and didn't think too much of it, but I did remember the title. A few years on, I checked out 'Breakfast of Champions' from the library, probably the very same book, and knew exactly which page made her giggle and why she didn't want to explain it. Priceless.

[calimary]

9. Sorry - I couldn't help laughing!

[twodogsbarking]

10. Sounds woke to me.

[Mr.Bill]

12. That's great, very funny!

[PhylliPretzel]

15. TFG promised us a taco truck on every corner

if Biden were elected.
We are still waiting for one on our corner!

[niyad]

17. I thought it was if Hillary was elected. Funny, even though she wasn't,

we do have taco trucks or Mexican restaurants in pretty nearly every neighborhood, thank goodness!

[PhylliPretzel]

28. Thanks for the correction . . .

. .. glad you have a taco truck near you.

[niyad]

33. No taco truck, but two restaurants within a mile, and at least five more within

a five-mile radius.

[aggiesal]

16. There are days when I wish I could be that funny ...

I've never experienced that day.

[Sogo]

18. LOL!!

I'm going to print this off and give it to my friend who runs the best taco truck in my town (there are three).

[StarryNite]

21. Now that is clever!

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Ditto

Exactly what I was going to write!

[3auld6phart]

22. Love it

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

24. Firstly, what if Carlos is a genuine Mayan virgin? Secondly, ...

secondly, who rolls tacos? Tamales, ok, but tacos?

Please pass the hot sauce.

[Kali]

26. flautas are rolled, they are a type of taco I suppose

and actually tamales are more smeared and then wrapped. burros/burritos are rolled. same with regular enchiladas.

[soldierant]

30. How else would you get them flat so they can be bent?

[TwilightZone]

49. +1

[keithbvadu2]

35. Ya know, I appreciated the message but overlooked the detail.

Rolls...

[TwilightZone]

48. Tortillas are rolled out.

The tortillas are then used to make taco shells.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

52. You are pulling my leg!

Taco shells come in plastic bags, ten to the bag. Except for the crisp taco shells, which come in a box.

Rolled out? Like pizza dough? Are you sure they're not fried like crepes?

I guess I'll just put my trust in Carlos and his Mayan virgins.

Bon apetit.

[fierywoman]

36. Oh! Oh! Oh! Thank you for the LOL!

[Skittles]

44. I bet Carlos is HOT

[ashredux]

47. Most folks, miss, the, point, here, and I'll add a comma, ....does it sell tacos?

That’s the only question. (,)

[burrowowl]

53. LOL!

[Emile]

55. My luck I would get one from Carlos.
