In case you missed it, a tweet by the San Miguel Sheriff's Office has recently gone viral due to its hilarious (and confusing) description of a "large boulder the size of a small boulder".
On Monday, January 27, a boulder fell and blocked a lane of the road on Highway 145. The San Miguel Sheriff department tweeted a very important and informative message to warn people about the incident, except they made one simple and confusing mistake. The tweet describes the boulder as a "large boulder the size of a small boulder."
Large boulder the size of a small boulder is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpick Rd. Please use caution and watch for emergency vehicles in the area. pic.twitter.com/EVMmDf0IJu

This very important and pressing question to get you thinking:
Who would win in a fight? A large-boulder-sized small boulder or 20 small-boulder-sized large boulders?

This perfectly sarcastic response:
Thank god you took a picture of it, as Iβm apparently not familiar with boulder units of measure. ππ»

Since the initial tweet, the rock puns and hilarious tweets have taken the internet by storm, and it's clear to see why.
The author of the tweet has since come forward and owned her mistake, adding a nice little pun in there as well:

Large boulder the size of a small CAR.

We just can't get enough of this hilarious mix-up, and since the boulder has been cleared and nobody has been injured, it's fun to laugh at the entire situation.
