Today I went to Costco during lunch, I had some things to pick up there. Jeff went with me. I had their infamous $1.50 hot dog and soda, which was excellent as always. After we sat down at the tables, an old couple asked if they could sit next to us, because there wasn’t a lot of table space. They had pizza, the old man had combination and the woman pepperoni. Then she said it:
At least I won’t have any bathroom problems with all this grease
I was barely able to contain my shock and derisive laughter, but Jeff rescued me and asked if I was done, which prompted us to leave.
I just happened across The DM of the Rings the other day, and it has given me many laughs, so I thought I’d share it.
I was reinstalling Apple’s Bonjour service (it’s a zero-conf implementation) to test a problem for my boss. During the installation, I got the following error message:
I ran across this picture the other day and had a good laugh.
PS. The opposite of irony is wrinkly.
I just ran across Nice Critic, an easy, anonymous way to send a short message to someone.
Some of the funnier messages are:
- Please refrain from slapping people’s buttocks.
- Not sharing your candy jar makes you look somewhat unsociable.
- Please consider wearing a more updated tie.
- It seems like your thong is showing.
- Your shirt/blouse seems to be a little tight.
Funny, they don’t seem to have a Your shirt/blouse could be a little tighter…
This is one of my favorites I took on vacation:
Beware of Trains
I use GRIP on my work machine to rip CDs, and was amused by the GRIP FAQ which states:
Q: I was listening to a CD in Grip and it sounded horrible! What’s up?
A: Perhaps you are listening to country music…
Hehe, I hate country too.
I ran across the Bureau of Communication’s website today, they have some funny forms you can fill out and email people, such as this Declaration of Romantic Intent I wrote:
Apologies to Ellie if you read this
I Park Like an Idiot.com stickers.
Don’t stick “I Park Like An Idiot” Bumper Stickers on other cars like these people did!
But they do encourage you to send in pictures.
Last night Lorien and I met Ellie and Wade for dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. On my way into the restaurant, I saw a dusty car drive by with Wash Me written on the back window in the dust. Just below it was written: I wish my wife was this dirty.
I wonder if someone wrote that on their car as a joke, or if they put it on themselves…
In either case, it was worth a good laugh at the table.
I’ve run across some funny signs today. Here they are, in no particular order.
Twenty’s Plenty, a humorous rhyme to keep people from driving too fast.
For Sale: Inverness
And my personal favorite, Disabled Drivers. Cheers.

In our tech support office, there is a chart with a movable arrow very similar to Fire Danger charts we see around fire stations. It has sections like Low, Moderate, High, and Extreme. The only difference is they removed the F, so it reads IRE DANGER with a director pointing to the current level of ire in the office.
I almost wet myself laughing at this video:
Ef et’s no’ a Utilikilt, et’s CRAP!
You should read this review on Amazon. It’s full of awesomeness. Here are some highlights:
“Spiers’s eyes popped extraneously from their sockets, as his face turned from a deep red to a sickly purple.”
“The lamp’s glow was very weak compared to the blue glow emancipating from the basement.”
“It infiltrated his lungs, filling them with a kind of innovativeness he had never felt before.”
“Of all the things to think, he never thought he’d think that.”
“Already, he knew he wouldn’t be able to do it. In fact, he KNEW he wouldn’t.”
