Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Texas town says goodbye to 'hello'

KINGSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- In this friendly little ranching town, "hello" is wearing out its welcome. And Leonso Canales Jr. is happy as heck.

At his urging, the Kleberg County commissioners on Monday unanimously designated "heaven-o" as the county's official greeting. The reason: "hello" contains the word "hell."

"When you go to school and church, they tell you 'hell' is negative and 'heaven' is positive,'" said the 56-year-old Canales, who owns the Kingsville Flea Market. "I think it's time that we set a new precedent, to tell our kids that we are positive adults."

The new salutation, according to the county resolution, is a "symbol of peace, friendship and welcome" in this "age of anxiety."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

they tell you 'hell' is negative

Not compared to, say, "fuck-this-o".

That's not very symbolic of peace, friendship and welcome of you.

More from the article:

David Sabrio, a professor of English at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, noted that the Oxford English Dictionary says "hello" stems from an old German greeting for hailing a boat.

"Linguistically and historically, the word 'hello' has no connection at all with what we associate with the underworld," he said. "People may make that connection in their own mind. I certainly don't."

I bet "hello" was an old German greeting for hailing a boat... from hell!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's some kind of world class stupid, Mr. Canales.

When y'all were kids, was 'hell' a bad word? It was in our Christian grade-school.

It's Texas. Shouldn't they all be saying "Howdy" anyway?
