I stopped carrying a Taylor Swift. It was like carrying a 1 iron. I use it like once a season so why carry it?

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What do you use for that one time, when it happens?

Instead of using a Taylor iron i just use a Tiger wood.

Is there more to the joke here other than Taylor Swift is a human, not an inanimate object?

If you truly need it explained, it's a joke about how frequently Taylor Swift is in the media.

You know what they say about if you have to explain the joke... Normally the onion is great, not complaining, I just didn't think it was very funny and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something

There has been a lot of ringing endorsements and hoopla about her
