Get it?! Having lived in Boise, Idaho for a number of years, I can immediately tell an outsider when they say "oh, Boy-zee?" That's an "S" folks, not a "Z." You can imagine my pleasure when I stumbled upon this post card by local artist Ward Hooper (above) as the pronunciation of my city's name has been a point of contention between me and outsiders at many times. Read 'em and weep. Read 'em and weep.
