I grew up listening to once famous (now infamous) white rapper Vanilla Ice. While I was giving props to the I-C-E by rapping his hit rap song (“Cool as Ice”), wife butted in and was quick to give her piece of mind about my rapping à la Vanilla:
“Yeah, right. Vanilla Ice, you say? More like Vanilla…”
Now, instead of coming up with a word that’s supposed to sound like ‘ice,’ she totally fumbled with the spelling, and, out of nowhere, came up with…
“Y-E-S.”
“So, Vanilla ‘Yes?’ That’s what you’ve come up with,” I mused.
“No! I meant ‘eyes!’ E-Y-E-S! Vanilla Eyes,” she retracted.
But too late, wifey! That was really, really…
LOUSY. 😛
