12. Wasn't he a radio personality who did a lot of ads on Channel 30?

[NewJeffCT]

16. He had a daily segment on words/language and their correct pronounciation

and, he was on the air for over 50 years in the Hartford area and usually had over 50% of the market share in the ratings.

but, one of his segments would be the "word of the day" where he would make sure to pronounce certain words correctly, like realtor.

[madinmaryland]

23. I had to do a wikipedia search, and that did bring back

memories of him. He really was the voice of Hartford and Connecticut.

6. My real-uh-tor wore lots of turquoise joolery

It was gaudy and overstated, but if the joolery fits...

[TZ]

7. you called?

Oh wait, you said joolery, what joowery....:rofl:
Da JOOS did it...;-)

[Orrex]

8. I wasn't talking about you, but now that you mention it...

Your nekkid yoga prowess makes you quite the ath-a-lete.

9. We used to use a jooser.

But somebody told us that was anti-semitic.
durn
No mo joos.

20. My real-tor was

giving the Owner of the firm the daily briefing. She concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian homes were sold."

"OH NO!" the Owner exclaims. "That's terrible!"

The Owner's staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the Owner sits, head in hands.

Finally, the Owner looks up and says, "How many is a brazilian?"

:evilgrin:

10. I am a Realtor, and when I went for orientation for

our local MLS board the instructor made us all say "Realtor" about fifty times, like we were in fucking grade school. She also basically told us to vote Republican. The old "I can't tell you how to vote but these politicians (she names a few names) are the ones who do the most for Realtors" bit. I almost got up and walked out!!:mad:

[madinmaryland]

13. They told you to vote Repub?

:wtf:

[Arger68]

17. Basically. She was really pushing for our Congressman

who was Gil Gutknecht (Bush butt sniffer 1st class) at the time. :puke:

The National Association of Realtors is hugely Repub also, I believe.

[pitohui]

24. it's a made up fake word, doesn't matter how it's pronounced

sorry if you have the misfortune to be one of these folks but it's still a fake made up word and it still doesn't matter how it's pronounced

[tigereye]

25. how about ree-ul-ter

:P

[kmla]

26. Huh...

Well, my real-uh-tor sold a house that was made of mason-AIR-y block.

And she was quite miss-CHEE-vee-us as well.

[laconicsax]

27. Well, according to the American Heritage Dictionary,

On January 24th, 2009, in the oval office of the new Democratic president:

The Secretary of Defense is giving the President the daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

The President's staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and says, "One Brazilian is too many! I am glad that we are beginning to draw down our presence in Iraq and put an end to this long national nightmare."

:hi:

28. Well done, my friend!
