    My high school debate team was called "The Master Debaters", the school news anchors always smiled when announcing them!
  • "Now he's gettin' a tattoo, yeah, he's gettin' ink done. He asked for a thirteen, but they drew a thirty-one"

    Oh, dear, it's a question with a funny word. I can smell the laughs.
  • @Artaxo
    Spoiler alert! Why did they feel the need to engrave Trophy on the trophy? Seems like my dad labeling the Tupperware with "Tupperware".
  • @xenialafleur
    There are lots of misspellings on the Stanley Cup.
  • It's called that either because the engraver didn't give a f*** or he was told to do as the instructions say.

    I once drove through a road junction with a stop sign but on the road it said SOTP

    Did not expect Jordan here
  • @SirExal
    There are a number of typos on the Stanley Cup, including one time spelling "Boston" with Q's.
  • My guess was that the 'amateurs' were kindergarten kids, and the trophy was made by them so that was why it was missspelled
