Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot.

Though in its current form, the sub is missing its ass entirely, and thus cannot toot.

OK. A lesson for ya. We don't pronounce it like that. It's Aschoot

And "toot" is not the most common term for farting either, although it is used.

Here's how the rhyme goes....

Beans, beans good for the heart,
the more you eat.....

We're a lot cruder in general

Back in the 70s-90s, Grumman Aircraft on Long Island used to build the Radome of the E2C out in Calverton LI (on the borth fork just beyond the split) - but the rest of the airplane was made in Bethpage, and the radome was shipped by truck down the Long Island Expressway - now you have to picture - it's way more than one lane wide, the highway is 3 lanes - I was waiting to enter the highway (entrance closed) when the truck, with it's police escort came flying by (pun) - I entered after them, and got up to 70 mph - and they were pulling away

There's nothing quite like coming up on a house that is three lanes wide whipping down the highway at 110km/h.

For clarity, I'd break it up into ass-choo-t
(but then I was trying to prove a point about the different pronunciations of hurry and blurry the other day, so what do I know?)

Indeed. But I was enjoying the sneeze-like quality of the altogether version


I really didn't get the ass-toot thing until milkfish spelled it out. I've only Americanized on some of those words (Tuna, Tuesday, tube, occasionally stupid...)

Ewwwww - I am seriously considering not turning up on your doorstep now - I think I would gag if you offered me a toooona sandwich.

I'll still consider it as long as you don't have any fancy words for beer I spose

Bud is about as fancy as it gets.... :p

Hey what can I say, I have three kids with American accents. Adapt and survive.

How about Pastrami on Rye? Not sure what they do with tuna here, but you don't often see it in sandwiches. it's all ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, salami and cheese, beef and cheese, cheese and cheese.... I guess Toona's too messy to eat while driving, making calls, applying mascara and slurping coffee....
