  • My new hero

    I know this has appeared on a few sites already, but it never stops making me laugh. And it’s all about what makes me laugh, isn’t it?

  • How to annoy telemarketers, Part II

    Special Guest Author: Jules OdeNile

    1. If they say they’re John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their
      name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is
      located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they
      got into this line of work, if they are married, how many kids they have, etc.
      Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as
      long as necessary.
    2. Say “no” over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and
      keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This is most fun if you
      can do it until they hang up.
    3. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan,
      reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, “I don’t have any friends, you be my friend?”
    4. If they start out with, “How are you today?” say, “I’m so glad
      you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these
      problems. My arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog has the
      gout…”
    5. If the company cleans rugs, respond: “Can you get out blood? Can you get
      out goat blood? How about human blood?”
    6. Ask them to repeat everything they say several times.
    7. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. “Come
      on, Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how’s your momma?”
    8. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up … louder … louder …
    9. When the salesperson asks, “Is this the homeowner?” say, “Is
      this the salesperson?” And when they say, “Yes,” hang up.
    10. How would you annoy them?

  • Uh, ma’am? There’s a badger on your head

    Uh, ma’am? There’s a badger on your head

    To be honest, I’m not sure if she cut her hat open or if it came that way. In any event, her hair was a horrible rat’s nest and I just had to share…

  • Overheard: Is it permanent?

    Girl 1: “Have you seen my new tat? I don’t think I’ve seen you since I got it.”
    Girl 2: “No! Lemme see!”
    [looks at her shoulderblade]
    Girl 2: “Oh, cool! Is it permanent?”
    Girl 1: “Yeah… That’s kinda the point.”
    Girl 2: “Really? Nothing will wash it off?”
    Girl 1: [shakes head]
    Girl 1: “What if you use a really good exfoliant?”
    Girl 1: “OHMYGODYOUARESUCHAMAJORDORK!”

  • I have no words

    I mean, how do you screw up a simple chest bump?

    Seriously?
