that's a crazy 7. I might steal that font
You mean the F?
F doesn't come after 5, must be a 7!
6 comes after 5 and the 6th letter is F
FFF - the letter of the feast.
FFT the Fast Fourier Transform wait what where we talking about again
Well, F is the sixth letter in the alphabet.
Alternatively, it could be fifteen, which is after five.
Four, five, feven
A mistake plus keleven, gets you home by seven!
feight ... fine
According to my eldest brother, that's the British way of writing it. I don't know if that's true, though.
No. No it isn't.

Well, good to know. That was most likely my misunderstanding rather than his error. Thank you for the cultural clarification!
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
Too inconsistent to say.
Guy must have been there a while...
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.
Let's just say both
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?
I think it just kinda spread.
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
