Bity poor Town, who hasn't got much of late...

Bity? Larry, that wasn't a misteak was it (looking forward to how you're
going to explain this one...)

...of course it wasn't a misteak, I don't make misteaks. It was a neologism.
Just blend  "bit of" (as in, Town hasn't got much lately) and "pity" and you
get Bity.

Prolly ought to be a FAQ entry, it's so useful. :-) :-) :-)

Is everyone just assuming the "misteak" joke?  Because nobody has blamed that
spelling on cosmic rays!

Read the above... Bity was deliberate(1) as it's a neologism.

1 - Or so I can (with a straight face, sort of) claim
