End-of-the-day sign

June 8, 2017 • 2:30 pm

Reader Darrell sent me this sign, and a quick search shows lots of copies of it on the Internet, but I can’t be arsed to find out where it was, or if it’s genuine. A helpful reader might do that. Regardless, it’s funny, and if you don’t know where the lines came from, or what the last word means, you don’t get out enough—or aren’t old enough!

  1. Well I’m IN Russia right now, but I have no idea what that last word means. It isn’t Cyrillic.

    But the rest of course is the Beatles ‘Let it be’

      1. Couldn’t be clearer —

        “coefficient of variance, iron, iron”

        or something wrong with his feefee..

      2. Couldn’t be clearer —

        “coefficient of variance, iron, iron”

        or something wrong with his feefee..

        1. The OED is struggling to find a Definition for it. I suggested “unwilling to admit to a mistake”

        2. Hmmm…try it now. I THINK that I found the way to change it from “Friends” (which I NEVER intentionally chose) to “Public.”

  6. It was posted June 3 on twitter.com/SignoftheSqwirl and the poster claims it as their own work on another site (twitter.com/Travon/status/872137463627743232/photo/1)

  8. “Speaking words of sedition” would have been more germane but then it wouldn’t scan properly.

  9. So I don’t get out enough! Is COVFEFE just a poor attempt at spelling the legal drug COFFEE?

    Real humo(u)r – presumably from America. A first? Ouch! Bring back Rowan and Martin.

    1. Nope, not coffee. That is one of the many deliberate assumptions being made by humourists, though.

      Rather it is from a now famous tweet from the man with tiny thumbs. Shortly after midnight, he sent, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.”

      He undoubtedly meant ‘coverage’, but we haven’t seen the rest of what obviously was going to be some self serving sentiment. It stayed up all night before he took it down and gave a light-hearted comment on it.

      It unintentionally served him well since it greatly distracted all the US commentariat, something he often does deliberately, with malice aforethought.

  13. I don’t understand any of this, well, I mean, I am in NFLD.
    Beatles. They are a band from Liverpool. I heard of them.

    I don’t watch the news. Not on Twitter.
    How many of you don’t know what NFLD is?

    Sir Paul hates Danny Williams.

    Sir Paul was the odd man out, in the band, when they rest of the lads donated to the environmentalists in the day. Calvin Coish is a journalist from NFLD. He is a great researcher.

    Sign is still FUNNY for me. Thanks.

    1. I’ve actually been to NFLD, in around 1968, when I was very young. Just the Island, but we pretty well drove right the way ’round it. Also, my father was stationed in Goose Bay for quite a while in the 1950s.

      How many Canadians have been to NFLD? None that I know personally. (I am a USian. I know quite a few Canadians.)

      In any case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtNU616XqQk

      Terrific song. (The youtube isn’t the released version.)

      1. By “I am a USian”, is that your way of saying American? I have coined “Usan” for both an American and the Enlish they think they speak and write. And the country is Usa – pronounced “You-ser”.

        1. Yes, it’s been fairly common on this site in discussions. (To avoid implying that the USA encompasses all of the “Americans” — of which there are many other nationalities, of course.)
