Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 12, 2024

Yore eyes are stuck in you’re hairline.

Yaw kidding?

Tie her to a stake lad, and show her what we do with bundles of straw.

Alas, poor Yore-ick…

Tales of Your.

English majors are so stuffy you wouldn’t want to really get to know them more intimately. Like hugging a sofa cushion.

Their, there, they’re now, you’ll get over it soon enough!

… and you’re in and urine.

I do appreciate people who can communicate correctly and effectively.

She looks like a Cyclops.

She’s awfully picky for someone who doesn’t know the correct placement of “only.” She says she “only dates guys who…” She doesn’t, for example, marry such guys, just dates them. She should have said, “I date only guys who…”

As a Cyclops she shouldn’t be that picky

But Gary, you do get points for the pointy shoes!

“Lhude sing cuccu.” Also, stop making him the straw man for your argument.

Guy on the right has the daze of yore.

Pore Gary. Another tail of whoa.

Uh, what century is this guy from?

Yer and Youse are iffy.

Made a mistake. I was trying to use the Internet to discover another homophone beside ewer and saw how many web sites were devoted to the difference between your and you’re. Now I’m depressed and have to go back to bed.

Get lost “Beach.”

Well, looks like it’s back to toiling for Gary.

Whew! Dodged an arrow there, Gary!

“Ur mean”

Your, you’re, or yore? Oh my!

looks like Gary’s in a bit of a daze…

“That’s okay, Linda. I actually prefer women whose eyes aren’t in their forehead.”

Yup. Make sure they’re correct with their usage whether they’re here or there.

Gary’s, grammar Nazi alert should be going off!

Yarrr.

There and their too.

Yore sure about that? :)

Obviously she won’t date most of the people who make comments on news sites too (or to or two).

Yore kidding, right?

I always found it interesting that children and likely adults with no art training as well draw eyes at the top of the head when they are actually located more like halfway down. Because of their prominence and/or the illusion created by the hairline, in one’s mind, they seem to be at the top of the face?

It’s Ok, I don’t date girls with eyes at their hairline!

Say what?? :)

Seems like their age difference would matter more. She’s from the Space Age, he from the Middle Ages.

Yar

You’re out of date and so is your “yore”.
