You have an errant apostrophe. But I like the joke.

Good eye, Elizabeth. I couldn't figure out where said errant apostrophe was.........until I re-read the entire entry. To reiterate - good eye!

She reminds me of Mrs. De Silva, she does.

Do you mean that she could change a transmission? Or grind your valves? To me the apostrophe seems rather superfluous than errant. "I'ts" would be errant, unless it's come wandering in from some completely different text.

Since it's not supposed to be there at all, I felt "errant" was an appropriate characterization.

Rita...Don't you just love it?? Typical Karl family comments dissecting pronunciation, but no mention about the flavor of content.

I don't think the apostrophe is superfluous; it doesn't make sense since, rather than being possessive, the "it's" is a contraction of it and is and reads ....Garrison Keeler is it is author. At least, this is my thought............ain't this fun?

The apostrophe is no longer errant or superflous because it is no longer there...Take that!

I just joined this discussion and don't see an apostrophe!

BTW, this joke is an oldie but a goodie. Here's a graphical version of it. :-)

Amazing! In a country where we have chickens and eggs sleeping together, you people are more concerned with (non-)errant apostrophes! The apostrophe's not our main concern down here in the Bible belt. Besides, I believe asterisks and ampersands account for far more in the world.

Leave it to someone from the "bible belt" to miss the big picture and say something like "in a country where chicken and eggs sleeping together" the whole freakin premise behind the which came first, "the chicken or the egg" questions evolution as opposed to creationisim. Something had to be alive to lay an egg. and all the comments here are about gramatical erorrs and southern good ole boy arrogance
