Surfer: Dude, it’s been beautiful, temps 10 degrees above normal, most of this rather short winter here in the far West. I feel for the people getting slammed.
I think the spelling of “iceburg” was deliberate, in the modern sense of burg as a small town. If we’re really lucky, Al Gore was on that “iceburg” stealing $20,000 or so by giving a speech.
Since we are talking about wrong words and misspellings of words, what about what Hillbillyman said? Shouldn’t that read “must HAVE” and not “must of”?
A man was waiting to board a plane in Los Angeles when a Chinese passenger sat down next to him. He put down his magazine and slapped the easterner in the face.
“What was that for?”
“Because my grandfather died at Pearl Harbor!”
“That was the Japanese. I’m Chinese.”
“Japanese, Chinese, it’s all the same to me.”, he said, and went back to his reading.
Rubbing his sore cheek, the Chinese passenger noted the name on the mailing label on the magazine, grabbed it away, rolled it up and bopped its owner on the head.
“What was that for?”
“My great-grandfather was a steward who wend down on the Titanic!”

It’s iceberg not “iceburg”

I’m surprised the editor didn’t catch that one. Must have been a brain-freeze caused by the slushy.

The Titantic didn’t hit a slushy one unfortunately.

A global warming joke in the middle of this winter? Really?

I take it that BURG (German for castle) was a deliberate one (kind of reflecting the shape of the ship, that would warrant the name Cruiseburg)

Maybe the person that called out the alert was illiterate. Thus the incorrect spelling.

Bdaysuit, I seem to recall the word SEX from my youth. I’ll have to Google it now to refreash my memory.
Ladyfingers86, you’ll find the dictionary with the typewriters in an antique shop.

“That was sunk by an iceberg!”

Maybe it was just the lookout’s Id-ish accent.
