Oh Murray Wood, You are Such a Clown

JCQ: [Sarcastically] I noticed yesterday that Murray Wood now has signs at busstops claiming that he puts the "Ask" back in "Saskatchewan."

BAQ: It's not that bad of a slogan.

Michael: I tend to agree with J.C.Q. It is pretty stupid, but funny at the same time.

BAQ: Why?

JCQ: Well, for starters, "Ask" doesn't even come out as a word in Saskatchewan because it is accentuated "Sa-ska-tche-wan." This is stupid on so many levels, B.A.Q. How can't you see this?

Michael: Maybe you should write to him to tell him how you feel.

JCQ: Brilliant, Michael. Let's you and I both write to him together and suggest better slogans he could use. Like I put the "chew," as in chew people out, in Saskatchewan.

BAQ: Oh, come on. That's ten times worse.

JCQ: Fine. How about I put the "sassssss" in Sasssssskatchewan.

Michael: He's Murray Wood, J.C.Q. He isn't exactly sassy.

JCQ: Fine. How about I put the "che" in Saskatchewan?

Michael: What?

JCQ: "Che" is a Spanish interjection which in English is rougly equivalent to "Wow!" or "Hey!" or "Eh!" or sometimes even "Dude!" Ernesto Guevara earned his nickname due to his frequent use of this expression.

BAQ: JCQ, now you are just sitting at your computer making up the rest of this conversation based on information you are getting from Wikipedia. You didn't even mention the "Che" part during the actual conversation that took place last week.

JCQ: Quiet, BAQ! Shouldn't you be reading to the fishies or something?

About me

  • I'm Fishsticks
  • From Belgium
  • I am a Francophone that is a strong supporter of General T. Foolery’s mission. I use this blog to post about rien du tout or je-ne-sais-quoi ici et là. There’s nothing derisive or divisive here. No no, that takes too much effort. I try to post hebdomadarily. It rarely works given my slackedness.

    Unfortunately, my sidekick B.A.Q., an Anglophone, sometimes adds lackadaisical posts to this site, including tales of two nations warring within the bosom of one house. I apologize for this not-so-hilarious inconvenience. It does not happen frequently.
