It's often said about great speakers that they could read the phone book, and their audiences would be rapt. Well, I'm going to try something similar to that here. I'm going to post a page from my local phone book:
The other day, I needed a phone number, flipped the book open to that page -- and I burst out laughing.
How quickly will the (presumably unintended) humor appear to you folks?

Forgive my brief wallow in crudeness...but depending on your pronounciation, it sorta works for all kinds of people, too.

I saw it, but at first I thought the humor was that you're still using a printed phone book. :)

*SNORT*
You can't make up something like that!
The only thing that would have made it better would be if Eastman's Pharmacy was Eastman's . . . no, not gonna go there. SO not going to go there . . .

Or after another 30 seconds of thought... an alternate pronunciation of "Dyk"... that rhymes with "lick".

Any wonder this guy became a criminal?
Of course, he went by "Richie" rather than the more obvious nickname.

LOL.
Though that's probably not an accident. It wouldn't be that hard for someone laying out the page to adjust the sizes enough to change the names on top and bottom.

For a brief moment I thought you were a fan of English soap operas (Eastenders ...?).
*sigh* I suppose it was too much to hope for.
