New Study

Here's a post from our new friends over at FRN:

New Study Found that Using Smartphone on the Toilet May Make it Tough to "Go"

Lower Prices Soon

I've seen this sign on the way to work for the last few weeks. It says "Lower Prices Coming Soon."  I'm no business owner, but wouldn't it be better to wait until you lower prices and THEN put up a sign? 

Gosh!

Have you ever listened closely to this scene?

5 Annoying Coworkers

Hi, my coworker and I made a video.  I hope you like it.  :)

Punt Gun

Guess who drew the short straw:

Believe it or not, that was a real gun, once upon a time.  It was supposedly meant to shoot several birds in a flock at once.  As you can imagine, not many of these were made.

You Didn't Know

Have you seen those articles about "10 Things You Didn't Know About ..."  Here's a snap shot I got yesterday:

Apparently, the internet thinks I don't know much about anything.  Half of the articles on this page are about things I don't know.  I normally find them interesting, but that many articles in my face at once seems a little insulting. . .

Heck, I could write one of these articles.  I already have some ideas:

-10 Things You Didn't Know About the Number 10

-7 Ways You Didn't Know How to Wonder About the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World

-1 Way to Write an Uncompelling Article About Things You Didn't Previously Know About by Using a Search Engine that Didn't Rhyme With "Oogle"

Hippo Cart

How much horsepower do you think that thing gets?

Hard Head

Now THAT'S taking one for the team.

Believe it or not, this is how they used to test football helmets.

Notice how no one is taking notes...

Senor Froggy

Saw this downtown:

So if you run a Mexican food restaurant and you need a boost in sales, add Italian take out to your menu.

Do Horses Know?

The question on everyone's mind after Preakness...

I have the simple answer.  No.  I'd say a human-invented concept like racing is not known by horses.

I'll bet they're thinking about how much they need to go the bathroom, though.

Cleaning Tricks

This is helpful...

But I have a much simpler trick to make it seem like you don't own pets.  Don't own pets.

Ice Cream Judge

Here is a really helpful article I found:

This article actually is a humor piece and it was cute.  But the sad truth is that many people probably clicked on it so they really could gain some sort of deeper insight into their friends and family.  We're such suckers by nature.  Judgement and ice cream go together like... like... judgement and ice cream.

I read the article and the reality is... it was probably funded by Good Humor, Magnum, and Klondike.  Those were the only brands mentioned.  So I guess all of you Blue Bell and Ben and Jerry's lovers can't be judged!  :)

Four Sale

Looks like "Two Sale" to me.

Scrolling

This is news:

The only thing more embarrassing than this link even being published is that people actually click on it...

...and no, in case you're wondering, I did not.

Litter Mafia

Even though I live in Idaho, now, I commute to Washington for work and drive around there quite a bit.  It's the first place I've seen signs like this one:

What exactly is going on, here?  Is there a litter mafia in Washington?  Ha.  What are they implying is going to hurt and who will be doing the hurting?  

And once they ultimately find that these signs are ineffective, then what?  The next thing you know, you'll be seeing signs like this:

or this:

Insert Straw

I saw this on a box of apple juice that I was giving to my son the other day:

Why is "Insert Straw" in quotations?  Is that supposed to be a euphemism for something else?  Ha!

"Insert Straw" - as in, "Wink, wink"
or
"Insert Straw" - as in, "If You Dare!"
or
"Insert Straw" - as in, "Good-luck-with-that-because-you'll-probably-bend-and-break-it-trying."

P Again

Since when did urine become so vocal?  This was in the news, today:

Well why don't I slap on some safety goggles and dip a test tube in the toilet next time and I'll see for myself what my pee is telling me?  Nah...  I can probably guess what it's saying:

"Okay, now flush"

or

"I used to be water"

or

"I am #1"

Spring Snow

It snowed yesterday, which many folks were unhappy about, being a couple weeks into spring, and all.  But I say...
