Full pun intended.
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.”
Guess they’ll just skip over the Hellenistic period in history class. And make sure never to read Catch-22.
