Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for May 09, 2024

…he doesn’t know.

How about that, an intelligent tattoo artist.

And what’s her last name?

Yes it was so you got a lot of tattooing to do.

Yes

Her name is CAROL!

Different spellings make finding acquittances on social media harder.

It was M3GAN.

Doesn’t really matter, since all his girlfriends have left him after a couple of months at most.

What is worse is that his former job was as a barista at a coffee shop.

Shirley

At lest he does not write “soup” in Chinese lettes.

It seems important to get that right.

It was Sarah. Didn’t I say Sarah?

…………….or was it Brittany, Britney, Brittney, Brittani, Brittanie or Britnee?

No, it was Susan.

“No regerts”

It’s always been the case, but it seems more prevalent now where people want to have a different spelling for a common name. They want it to look distinctive from the crowd. The trouble is they then have to spend the rest of their lives correcting how others spell their name (as they assume the normal spelling).

So many spellings, so little time.

Meg.

My sister did this for her youngest. Wanted something that was unique, so “Meaghann.” Yeah, let’s set someone up to go through life with their name being misspelled by everyone on the planet…

I have never seen a pretty tattoo. I guess the ancient Hebrews were right. Leviticus 19:28,“You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.”

Not sure why this is funny. He is checking before he finishes so he don’t make a mistake. Is the joke that you can invent so many different spellings for the same name

This is Megan him nervous.

Or Meegan, from the Key and Peele skits.

“Meagan’s gypsy eyes, the lyres surround me…”

It was M’ęġğïň…

“It was NANCY!”

I luv this cartune.

How does Peggy come from Margaret?

I think Mark was inspired by the tattoo mistake of Butterwings. I forget where I saw the headline, but it was a tat honoring an Olivia Rodrigo lyric.

she acts a little crazy to just put Nut Meg

Reminds me of a phone message I took for my stepbrother when I was 14: “Brad, Sherrie, Sherri, Shari, Cheri or Sherry called.”

At least he doesn’t have to worry about being left with Don instead of Donna because of a lack of funds!

If he does not know the answer to this question, he should definitely reconsider the tattoo.

Just Meg will do.

might be better off spelling the various version of the name …
