Something we all can relate to part 2

[Peru Bob]

The new forum needs a little bit of humor to release the tension of the changeover, so I've started part 2 of the old thread so that we don't have to keep scrollong to the end of the old thread.

If it gets too long before the "go to the latest reply" issue is resolved, I can lock this thread and link to a part 3 thread.

What do you think?

I don't understand the problem... when you go to a different country, you obey the rules of that country... if you don't like the rules there, don't go

Also, what does this have to do with the purpose of this message thread, which is humor?

It's a pun on his name.

Are you on a new diet, Gene?

I haven't even started my old diet, Nancy, but not sure why it would have anything to do with someone else's condiment joke on color coded RCA jacks. I might need your help on "connecting" the two. 🙂

Cup Noodles + Condiments? 

Reminds me of an old Marlo Thomas sitcom called "That Girl" -- the episode where underpaid, unemployed actress, Ann Marie, went to the Automat to procure a free cup of hot water to which she added gobs of free ketchup to make tomato soup.

Unrelated. The snow cleaner was dressed up like the product. If it were regular winter clothes, it wouldn't have been funny.

I  did remember "That Girl". The only episode that sticks in my mind was when she was doing a stand-up comedy gig and she asked her boyfriend to heckle her for some sympathy(?). That backfired big time as a man heckling a novice female comic was seen as a jerk move and he got punched out for it.

Wow, I thought it was a joke made to look like an old advertisement or something! No, that's terrible if people actually do it to their tires. Thank you for telling us. Maybe I should remove the post!

When it comes to saving money, people do some really crazy things. A while back there was a reality show devoted to the subject called Extreme Cheapskates that lasted 3 seasons.

Studying the basics of electrical safety as a 5th grader, I learned putting pennies in a fusebox was a bad idea except as your new band name. Screw-in fuseboxes have been mostly replaced by circuit breakers.

No, Jain. Please keep the post. I would have never found out otherwise.
