Captain Splendid's Journal: 1-800-FUCKYO

So, apparently there's a lot of hubbub over the national hotline for Obamacare translating to the above epithet.

Now, I thought the idiots hyping this up were conveniently leaving the last digit out in order to preserve the joke, and fair enough.

But then I come to learn that the telephone number actually contains the number 1 in the prefix, so that the transcription would more accurately read 1-800-F1UCKYO.

And again, I'm a charitable man, so have your yucks where you can get 'em, but make sure to get in and out quickly and cleanly. If you get to the part where you have to explain that the joke only works when you rearrange the digits, all they'll remember is that you can't tell a joke.

Wow

That is one piece of nonsense I hadn't heard, and I hear a bunch.

Rush spent 20 minutes on this piece of nonsense today. And, as usual, I head to head to the Internets to get the real story.

Gah, how bad do you have to be when Sean Hannity looks good next to you?

Relatively bad. There was a hash tag game [twitter.com] on Twitter.
