Nothing Better to Do

The commissioners of Kleberg County, Texas, have voted unanimously to urge residents not to say “hello” because a local man doesn’t like the word. “I see hell’ in hello,” says Leonoso Canales, 56, a flea market operator who led the drive for the county resolution, which urges people to say “heaven-o” instead. Canales says most people don’t notice the “hell” since “it’s disguised by the o, but once you see it, it will slap you in the face.” (Reuters) ...It’s probably no coincidence that there’s an “anal” in Canales.
