There’s a little town just across the James River from me named Surry. Apparently the city council is considering borrowing millions of dollars to build a new YMCA. One of the residents has written a letter to the local newspaper:
All I can think: Well, if they can’t, they’re going to be Surr from now on…
And now you understand. I can’t tell anyone else about this anywhere. It’s a news article that doesn’t allow comments. It came up in my news feed because I mod /r/NewportNews and this is news outside the city I can’t post there. I could post to c/Virginia, I guess, but I suspect they wouldn’t appreciate it. So you all are my only hope. :)
edit: y’all made my day. <3
I heard this town was also considering a city council consisting of its most eccentric and outlandish citizens. It’d be called “Surry with the Fringe on Top.”
Oh, no. That project was put on hold. The environmental impact study determined that it would cause Chicks and Ducks and Geese to scurry.
I’m glad someone got the joke.
OK
