Reddit | HiTripp

"What should we call the place?"

"The Sex-tant...?"

"Don't you think that that is needlessly confusing for people who aren't acquainted with nautical terms?"

"...It has sex in the name."

"Fine."

"I'm assuming they meant 'prosecuted'."

Reddit | fib16

Let's just live in hope that the Met Centre disc golf course really did mean "prosecuted". One thing is for sure though, I won't be messing with the Met Centre!

"A friend of mine called a restaurant about a spelling mistake on their sign. And they changed it."

Reddit | enis_with_a_p

I'm confused by who is ultimately wrong. Did the friend call as a prank? Did they genuinely believe it was wrong? Either way the restaurant fixed it but I need to know what ground zero was.

He's playing almost too stupid, I think there's a bigger scheme at play here.
