R-filled box

Where I grew up (south of Boston), we used to joke that people from a town called Medford had donated their D to Sesame Street. They pronounced it "Meffud". Since all of us spoke with the same south of Boston accent, no one was in a position to remark upon or even notice the irony of a bunch of nonrhotic English speakers mocking another set of nonrhotic English speakers for having dropped a sound (we said "Medfud").

Which brings me to this...
GREENCASTLE, Ind. --Dozens of letter Rs swiped last weekend from several businesses' signs were returned in an R-filled box left outside the Greencastle Police Department.
