Description: In political speech concerning federal funding for public education programs, legally blind punchline governor of populous American state delivers TWSS before correcting himself. In this case, TWSS is clearly an outright mistake rather than a verbal misstep, however, TWSS remains. It is unclear at this time what might make someone use the word “cock” instead of “top” since they are not homonyms, but the results are hilarious. And gay. FILE UNDER: Sigmund Freud, Gay, Blind, School.

  11. Keep fucking that chicken, New York.

  12. maybe he’s a fan of speedy chickens????

  13. Quick story that this made me think of:

    I teach an American Lit class and last year, I was working with some Emily Dickinson poems. In their journals, student kept insisting her name was “Dickenson.” So, I addressed their blunder in class by writing “DICK” on the board and then asking “okay, guys, what comes next?”

    I still don’t now have I remain employed.

    • my 6th grade teacher ran into a similar problem when trying to phonetically spell out “tenochtitlan” and we all started laughing by the time we got to “noch”

      also, i assume your story ends with a kid shouting out “I do”….at least it should.

    • Ugh, “I still don’t KNOW HOW I remain employed.” Good grief, D-.

  14. I hear they love to race to the cock in NEW JERSEY.

  15. Ugh, I live in Albany, and it pains me to have to share the same city with this guy.

  16. Well this post left me satisfied and smiling.

  17. too many advertisements.

  18. Why did the chicken cross the road? It was a race to the top.
