humor: Anyone Know How To Play Flag Soccer? - 12/16/12 01:22 PM
I saw a sign earlier today for "Flag Football and Soccer Signup." I don't know if it's for 2 different sports - flag football and flag soccer - or if it's a new combined sport of flag football and scoccer combined.
I think I know what the sign is supposed to convey, but better phrasing would certainly help. A lesson here.

humor: "Watermelons Aren't Apples" - 06/22/12 08:38 PM
Saw this in the store. It's a watermelon slicer like one used for apples.
In the first place, it only works on watermelons small enough to fit inside that outer ring.
Second, watermelon rind is thicker and tougher than apple peel.
Third, who needs or wants a 1" diameter core or heart of watermelon? OK, maybe some people do.
Fourth, how much downward pressure and force is required to get that to cut through a watermelon?
Lastly, unless you cut the bottom off the watermelon before using this tool, watermelons won't "stand up" while you use this tool.
Seems like a … (18 comments)

humor: Nice Call, Norton - 05/30/12 12:18 PM
You would think Norton would know who is using their services and who isn't.
You would think that Norton would know the capabilities of their various products.
You would think.
Got this curious email last night.
As you can see, they are concerned about "Flamer" - whatever that is. I am not. I have Norton, but then again, maybe I should be since they don't know if they are offering protection or not.
The email goes on to try to interest me in purchasing one of their products. Duh!

humor: The Trouble With Monday Holidays - 05/29/12 08:46 AM
Monday holidays are great - while they're happening. We get a long or longer weekend. Maybe sleep in, do some yardwork, play with the kids, and just have some time for ourselves. Many times, the public doesn;t expect us to be working - since they're not - and we escape with few or no phone calls.
The real trouble with Monday holidays is Tuesday - today.
For one, we think it is Monday, the first day of the week rather than the second.
For another, we realize that we only have 4 days to get everything done this week before the … (16 comments)

humor: Thanks For Noticing - 05/17/12 07:59 AM
I just got an email from an online retailer promoting low prices, and the subject line was "You could be saving money right now."
I thought to myself, I am saving money right now because I am not buying anything at the moment - online or in-person. Therefore, I am saving money right now. Thanks for noticing.

humor: We Beat All Quotes - 05/04/12 02:51 PM
I saw a sign today on an auto body shop marquee that said they beat all quotes. While the sign was not meant to be funny, it just struck me in a funny way.
I can just see me walking in with a Ben Franklin quote and then they try to one-up me with another Ben Franklin quote - or maybe a Lincoln quote. Then I'd counter with a couple more quotes and so it goes - back and forth. Who's to say they beat my quote? How long do we try?

humor: Eastern Time Zone Rainers Get An Extra Hour To Post On Saturday - 03/07/12 06:40 AM
Not that anyone is going to be staying up just to do this, but for anyone living in the eastern time zone, Saturday night offers a bonus of sorts.
Now that AR has gone to the pacific time zone time stamp for posts and comments, it means that eastern time zone folks have until 3:00 am of the following day to have things count for the previous day. Central is 2:00 am and mountain is 1:00 am.
This Saturday night, a special event occurs. At 2:00 am eastern time on Sunday morning (Saturday night if you like) or 11:00 pm pacific … (10 comments)

humor: 2011 December Blogging Challenge - Oh, If It Were True - 12/06/11 08:08 PM
We spend time creating, tweaking, and hopefully perfecting our websites. I have been devoting a lot of time to this endeavor recently. I plan to announce a major upgrade soon.
Nevertheless, imagine my initial excitement that soon faded when yesterday I received 165 spam message all with the subject line of a website message and all with glowing - though misspelled - comments. This was followed by another 22 tonight.
It would have been great if they were truly endorsements and testimonials.
The funny thing is that this just appears to be someone's idea of a joke. There were no links, … (12 comments)

humor: Buy Peanuts As A Hedge Against Inflation - 10/30/11 08:16 PM
Can't you see all of the TV commercials now hawking the value of peanuts? G. Gordon Liddy et al now tell us to buy peanuts before the price goes even higher. And peanuts have never been worth zero - though maybe close to it.
Get your peanuts in the shell, roasted, boiled, by the bar, or in butter, but get them now. Who knows how high they will be by New Years?

humor: You Can't Make This Up - 08/29/11 10:35 PM
Not exactly sure how much of a security risk these were, but at the Miami International Airport (MIA), a man was detained last Thursday by TSA for trying to smuggle 7 snakes through the security scanner - inside his pants. They didn't say if they were venomous or not or how large, but what a place to hide them!
He also has 3 tortoises contained in a nylon bag - also inside his pants.
He was arrested for trafficing in illegal wildlife.
He must have looked a little lumpy, if nothing else.
You can't make this stuff up.

humor: Customer Service On Overdrive - 07/06/11 05:10 PM
We all appreciate great customer service - maybe because it is so rare to find.
Many companies today have begun using customer satisfaction surveys and recorded intake telephone calls as a way of monitoring their performance - although I think the majority of these are perfunctory rather than strategic.
Nevertheless, I got a recorded telephone survey today from a national company asking me to rate the service I received on my refrigerator yesterday. It was only 2 questions they said, but I didn't have service yesterday. Fortunately I didn't require any.
Nice that they checked, but why would they think they … (6 comments)

humor: A Day Of Lasts - 10/31/10 02:04 PM
Just occurred to me that today represents a few different "lasts." For openers. it's the last day of October.
It's the last Sunday of daylight savings time (except for Arizona and Hawaii - when are you guys gonna get with the program?).
It's the last Sunday before the election - meaning that it's the last day of Sunday talk shows about the election before it happens.
Here in Palm Beach County, it's the last day of early voting.
And it's the last day of that unusual month that we've had where no matter what date you wrote it started with "10" … (14 comments)

humor: This Phish Story Will Make You Laugh - 08/05/10 08:25 PM
Got this email today - as di many other. It was addressed to "undisclosed recipients" as many spam emails are.
The grammatical errors are hilarious - not well written for the attempted threat that it proposes, but great for comedy.
Here is the email:

It's amazing how much money there is in the world just sitting out there waiting to be claimed - millions and milliions.
Hardly a day goes by when I am not contacted by some widow, executor, attoney, or trust amdinistrator, from somewher in Africa or the Far East to help them solve a financial dilemna they are in and claim part of the money they need to find a home for.
I am thrilled that they have chosen me, out of all the people in the word, to reach out to for help.
