Time for a few laughs

A couple of weeks ago I posted a link to a Goon Show comedy moment. I have a particularly soft spot for British comedy, so I’m going to continue the tradition by linking to another great – the one and only Jasper Carrot. I’m sure many readers have chuckled (or belly-laughed) at some of his… Continue reading Time for a few laughs

Texas Trouble

I received the following by e-mail (hat-tip to Fred). A couple in Sweetwater, Texas, had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze. It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one… Continue reading Texas Trouble

Would you like your eggs in 9mm. or .45?

For those interested in a novel way to fry eggs, how about making them gun-shaped? Now to cut bacon into ammunition shapes . . . 🙂 (Hat-tip to my buddy Greg for e-mailing me the details.) Peter

It was republished under the… Continue reading Not-So-Serious Signals

Have they thought this one through?

I saw a headline yesterday that made me pause: “Monkeys To Get ‘Insane’ Laser Treatment“. It made me wonder, so I read further. It seems that “unemployed youths will be paid to sterilize wild monkeys in India with lasers after a series of attacks on humans”. The youths will be “provided training in capturing and… Continue reading Have they thought this one through?

Demotivators

I wonder how many readers have discovered the delights of Demotivators? They make wonderful presentations to those we want to tease a little (or a lot). I’ve sent a number of them from time to time. A few good examples are illustrated below. Check out the whole list at the link above. (And no, I’m… Continue reading Demotivators
