Did you hear about the little Greek boy who couldn't run away from home?
He didn't want to leave his little brother's behind....:pinch:

I actually thought it was a joke about the economic climate in Greece but, whatever, I'm really in this thread to defend the humble apostrophe from abuse - teflon, how could you :no:
:shudder:
I have no excuse, other than confusion & a slight hangover. Also, my English teachers were quite ugly & I may have drifted off occasionally...Quote:

It should be brother's behind because there is only one behind and therefore only one brother.
For more than one brother, it would be brothers' behinds and the joke wouldn't work.
I'm going to cut myself now for turning into a heady mix of Arty and Darth Cicero.
Well, I wouldn't want that to happen, so I'll do something I rarely see anyone do on the internets, & admit I was wrong. :O I"ll fix it, so no need for cutting...Although if you go ahead & do it anyway, pics will be required.
No worries, I always posts pics on the internets after I self harm.
I don't do it for attention, though.
It is meant to be a spoken joke. That is all.
Where you one of the three-hundred?
Do you have 300 in greece?
Maybe someone has some change under the couch or something?
