Well, at least I thought that "OMG A TRU..." was the funniest thing I'd ever written.
See, she was text messaging, and... Get it?
Sigh. Never mind.

yup, thats funny right there
OMG A TRU doesn't mean anything unless the reader is dedicated text messenger.
I had to think about it a while.....
Course, I ain't de sharpest brick in the stack.
Bricks aren't supposed to be sharp.
OK,I'll be the dummy.
I didn't get it until I actually typed it out longhand in this comment to ask what it meant. I thought it was "Oh my God, a true . . ." like a true story.
When I read this post today, I thought maybe "TRU" was an acronym.
I think I get it now. It's like trying to find the Castle of Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrggghhh.
You kids with your texting and your rock and roll and your Davy Crockett hats . . . .
Who's Davy Crockett?
He discovered Canada, dummy. Geez, crack a book.
Well, I thought it was funny.
But I'm a dork.
"You kids with your texting and your rock and roll and your Davy Crockett hats . . ."
Okay, Tam's was funny...but THAT requires a beverage alert!
I thought it was funny.
But that means about 95% of the world doesn't think its funny. I suspect your readers are biased towards that other 5% though.
AE
I found myself trying to figure out what TRU meant in textish, once I realized it wasn't an acronym, I read the post regarding the Darwin Award nominee and FOFLMAO.
Doh..!!!
I missed the connection on the first pass, too...
Jokes are always funnier when they have to be explained. At least that's what I tell my wife when she doesn't get my jokes.
No worries, Tam. I got it.
And yeah, I was LMAO.
