    This was funnier in the 80’s when it first started.

      A true antique then! Was there a particular place it started or did this joke just kind of circulate?

    In the early 2000s there was a dive bar in Boston and people started scribbling grout puns in the grout between all the subway tiles at the urinals. It was all so brilliant, drunk poets, but I hardly remember them at this point;

    Oscar the grout

    Who let the dogs grout?

    Twist and grout

    Grout minds think alike

    Etc

        According to my eldest brother, that’s the British way of writing it. I don’t know if that’s true, though.

            Well, good to know. That was most likely my misunderstanding rather than his error. Thank you for the cultural clarification!

        F doesn’t come after 5, must be a 7!

          Well, F is the sixth letter in the alphabet.

          Alternatively, it could be fifteen, which is after five.

      I thought it was an F instead of a 6? And the person’s writing is great.

        It’s definitely an “F”. That’s the inconsistency joke.

          It could also be an unfinished swastika

            What, you’ve got a giant trampoline?

            I actually have a maze tattooed on my body (absolutely no swastika allusions) so that bit made me sad.

    Is that an F or a backwards 7

      I can’t tell anymore. I’ve always read it as a backwards 7 with the middle mark to differentiate it from a 1, but the comments on this post have me second guessing that now.

      Too inconsistent to say.
