Now let’s try the electric one.

Maybe ‘cuz it’s “barbed”? Enunciate

How could anyone make that mistake?.BARB-ecue ………. BOB-whar..They don’t sound anything alike.

I’ve had it pointed out on Facebook that the Barb(ed) Wire isn’t Ranch Flavor, either… though, technically, maybe it IS…

Good to see Eddie in uniform again!

‘course not, Eddie. It’s short for Barbara.

Hope he’s had his tetanus shot.

Ouch!!

Learning the hard way again.

I can say that that particular take on “barb wire” never occurred to me as a kid. Perhaps because it was ever-present across the street from home.

Good thing it wasn’t an electrified fence!

Barbed wire. It’s important to say the whole word.
