Just for fun…”Ask Mr. Language Person.”

Today Iโ€™m sharing a very funny post by one of my favorite authors, Dave Barry. I hope you will share this laugh with me.

“Question: In the song, โ€œI Shot the Sheriff,โ€ how come the singer keeps loudly announcing that he shot the sheriff, but he did NOT shoot the deputy? Is he in some weird municipality where itโ€™s a serious criminal offense to shoot a deputy, but if you shoot the actual sheriff, hey, no problem?

Answer: Your question is very important to us.”

LOL! For those of us who are old enough to remember this song, we can’t help but smile. ๐Ÿ™‚

Do you have a favorite humor columnist, or a favorite comedian?

    The sheriff and the deputy were both shot probably. He is just saying he only shot the sheriff. Someone else shot the deputy. So don’t blame him.

    1. Very true, Marie!

    I loved Dave Berry! I couldn’t wait to read his column every Sunday. The other person that I loved to read was Erma Bombeck. As for my favorite comedian, it was George Carlin.

    Thank you for making smile remembering these people!

    1. Pamela,
