"Found 1" iron pipe with cap prostrate on the ground..." 😉

I had an English teacher that use to tell the class, "Hens lay, eggs lie."

> I was looking at a Survey Map and noticed the note: "Found 1" iron pipe with cap lying on the ground..."
>
> I can't say how proud I am of that Surveyor for knowing the correct word to use in that context, most would get it wrong, I think.
>
> An English Professor said it's easy to remember the difference. If you say something is laying on the ground you are saying it is having sex LOL.

he was probably lying when he wrote that.

My psych professor would have said that you got yourself one disturbed pipe there.

Much too easy to confuse with prostate, then you'd have to wonder what the crew was doing out there.
