    I don’t get it. What’s wrong?

    “2 for $3.00 each”

    Not really a fail. The “EA” bit is to denote that they are sold individually, as opposed to, say, 2-packs or boxes. All the signs have something there.

      Aaaah… I see.

    • Christoph Dollis March 4, 2010 at 13:52

      Yeah, I got that right away.

      Personally, I thought it was a winning sign!

      I’ll take some large ass avocados please, with a side serving of large ass!

    I’ve never pronounced Hass that way…(always say Haas…Hawss)

      Me too, which is why I also didn’t get it.

    • Richard Nikoley March 4, 2010 at 16:19

      But it wasn’t haas, it was hass.

    • Allison March 4, 2010 at 16:23

      I see it now. hahaha

    • Mark November 7, 2016 at 10:35

      I pronounce it as harse which is still funny

    • Mark November 7, 2016 at 10:36

      Haas avocados in general I should add! They’ve always been harse avocados to me!

    I must have a puerile sense of humour I giggled like Homer Simpson as soon as I saw the photo

      Relief! At least I wasn’t the only one.

  7. TPSW March 4, 2010 at 13:16

    And here I was thinking that you were pointing out the remedial 2/3.00 followed by the 1.50 ea. Like the math is to taxing for the consumer to figure out.

    LOL

    That’s the way the francophones around here would say it. They put an “h” in front of any word starting with a vowel. :)

    Excuse me, are you out of the large hASSES that are on sale?

    Ummmm …. oh, yes, we are.

    I’d like a raincheck for 4 large hASSES please.

    You say Haas, and I say Hass:

    http://nutrition.avocadocentral.com/?gclid=CM33qsDnoKACFSZHagodsC9UZw

    Haas, hass, hass, haas, let’s call the whole thing off.

    On an aside, I really like the fact that an “Avocado Central” exists.

    I’ve been buying Large Hass Avocados for years and always thought “Hass” rhymed with “boss”. Oh well, I’m sure I’ve made up for with plenty of other puerile puns and double entendres. I’ll admit it, I’m childish enough to enjoy South Park, Family Guy, and Tosh.0. My wife mostly rolls her eyes at these shows, but I have been able to get her laughing hysterically now and again.

    That said, the inexplicable loss of the suffix “-ure” of late is a pet peeve of mine.

    OK, who wants some home-made guacamole?

    Hey Richard, there’s an article in Washington Post about the new Atkins book (with the usual moronic commenters too…). http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/02/AR2010030202091.html?hpid=sec-health

    Another opportunity to educate?

    That is sofa king funny!

    lol – think Large Haas is funny?
    here’s the punchline – what avocados are actually named after!
    Avocados got their name from the Spanish explorers. They couldn’t pronounce the Aztec word for the fruit, know as ahuacatl, “testicle,” because of its shape. The Spanish called the aguacate, leading to the guacamole we know today.

About FreeTheAnimal

I'm Richard Nikoley. Free The Animal began in 2003 and as of 2020, has 5,000 posts and 120,000 comments from readers. I blog what I wish...from lifestyle to philosophy, politics, social antagonism, adventure travel, nomad living, location and time independent—"while you sleep"— income, and food. I intended to travel the world "homeless" but the Covid-19 panic-demic squashed that. I've become an American expat living in rural Thailand where I've built a home. I celebrate the audacity and hubris to live by your own exclusive authority and take your own chances. [Read more...]
