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?

HAHAHA!  I just made this yesterday:

Bastet's Paradox: Every cat is the center of the universe.

The founder's name was Marcel Bich who wisely decided to drop the 'h' before selling it in the US.

And it looks identical today. 🙂

[LinSims]

Well, you know what they say. If it ain't broke, don't mess it up.

I like my Bic diamond pens.  And at 50 cents each, you can't beat 'em.

[Peru Bob]

I like pencils.  It's easier to fix mistakes make revisions.

[Nancy OShea]

You can't sip drinks through a pencil or improvise a trachiotomy tube with one. 🙂

Remember this novel?

[Kuji Fox]

Nostolgia. I was literally wondering what this book was called it's so there though Nancy!

[Nancy OShea]

That cover is of the UK Edition.  The US Edition had a different cover -- two men under umbrellas.

Depends on how you read it.

A General walks out of his office and notices a Lieutenant by the document shredder. "My secretary is gone home for the day, and I don't not how to operate this. Can you take care of this letter for me?"

"No problem", replies the Lieutenant as he feeds it in. "Done."

"Thanks Lieutenant, now I just need one copy."

Ha! You have to wonder what on earth happened to cause them to do this. I once had a blow dryer with a tag that said "DO NOT USE IN BATHTUB"    Duh.

[Nancy OShea]

Nothing surprises me, not since the NyQuil Chicken thing. 

Last week, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning: Don’t cook your chicken in NyQuil. This needed to be said?   The sheer absurdity of this announcement — of course you shouldn’t cook chicken in NyQuil, much less eat it!!

This reply wins...

Well, there are quite excuisite examples of people who died "there way" in the tub fixing electrical devices. So dryers are probably classic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Fran%C3%A7ois#Death

We are beginning to take the more "basic" precations as the generations continue to lose brain cells. It may be bad for our culture, but hey it's funny.

“Hold stick near center of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion.”

“It seemed to me,” said Wonko the Sane, “that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.”

Former President George W. Bush decides to take a walk on his own after being out of office for several months. He goes inside a shoe store, looks around and as he's headed out the door, the young man at the register asks, "Has anyone told you that you look a lot like George Bush?" "All the time" George replies.

"That must really be annoying."
