<title>Seven Signs You're Not Funny</title>
<link>http://www.purpleslinky.com/Humor/Life/Seven-Signs-Youre-Not-Funny.331365</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>WARNING: This article probably will hurt your feelings if any of the below are true for you.</p>
<h3>1. Virtually everything you say is a quote from somewhere else.</h3>
<p>Example: All your jokes and puns are regurgitated Family Guy lines, which you usually get wrong anyway.&amp;nbsp; Don't worry, people normally give you a courtesy laugh for effort, but this is a major sign your humor is more dried up than a bottle of Jack's used to comfort your empty life.</p>
<h3>2. You laugh at your own jokes hysterically, during and after the joke is complete.</h3>
<p>Example: A female spills juice on her jeans and states she is all wet, your first reaction is to say, "I make that happen to all women."&amp;nbsp; Then you proceed to laugh so hard your eyes close and you can't see the fact that everyone in the room hates you.&amp;nbsp; Open your eyes, the only thing funny in the room is what people are calling you in their thoughts.</p>
<h3>3. You use swearing as a tool to emphasize everything, even if no emphasis is needed.</h3>
<p>Example: If someone censored you during one of your attempts to be funny, you would sound like a mix of the Jerry Springer show crossed with a censored version your Dad's reaction to the news that your Mother was pregnant with you.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</p>
<h3>4. You always take things too far.</h3>
<p>Example: You come very close to actually saying something funny, then cancel and destroy every trace of funny by saying something so ridiculous and incoherent that the mood in the room goes from comfortable to awkward faster then your Mom regretted not taking the morning after pill.</p>
<h3>5. You are incomprehensibly random.</h3>
<p>Example: The odds you were the fastest swimmer is a random act of nature.&amp;nbsp; The odds that your anti-humorous brain will be able to stew up a joke that is related to the topic at hand with a touch of randomness would be a random act of - wait, it would never happen.</p>
<h3>6. You never let-up.</h3>
<p>Example: You attempt to make a group of people laugh with no success.&amp;nbsp; You try to make up for it by getting louder and less funny, usually alcohol fuels this irritating fire.&amp;nbsp; The best thing to do at this point is consume all the alcohol in the room and spend the night in the hospital.&amp;nbsp; At least the hospital staff will think you're funny when you wake up and realize a comedic genius drew a phallic symbol pointing at your mouth with permanent marker.</p>
<h3>7. You interrupt other funny people to add your special not-funny touch.</h3>
<p>Example: When someone else is on a roll and is succeeding in making other people laugh, you feel the need to ruin the mood and everyone's appetite by exhaling air from your humor-incapable lungs.&amp;nbsp; Stop breathing the funny man's air and just listen!</p>
<p>Please, if you know anyone less humorous than a cat not capable of human language, help them by adding to this list.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FLife%2FSeven-Signs-Youre-Not-Funny.331365"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FLife%2FSeven-Signs-Youre-Not-Funny.331365" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>10 of the Dumbest Warning Labels</title>
<link>http://www.purpleslinky.com/Humor/10-of-the-Dumbest-Warning-Labels.313093</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>These warning labels appear on everything from electronics to medications and are suppose to serve as an indicator as to how to use the product correctly. These warning labels are some of the most idiotic ones I have ever seen. Either people's intelligence levels are plummeting or the manufacturers are clueless.</p>
<h3>WARNING: Do Not Iron on Lottery Ticket</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_0.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Come on what person in their right mind would even consider using an iron on a lottery ticket? If you ask me a person this challenged has only earned one ticket to the insane asylum. Ha, Ha, Ha!</p>
<h3>WARNING: Not for Personal Hygiene</h3>
<p><strong> </strong><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Looks like your bathroom isn't the only squeaky clean place in the house! Can't you determine what the purpose of this brush is for even without reading the warning? It's pathetic that this is even on the warning label.</p>
<h3>WARNING: Do Not Hold Wrong End of Chainsaw</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Well there goes one hand! But, hey aren't you glad you were born with 2? That other hand would come in handy in the event that a giant chainsaw chopped the other one off.</p>
<h3>WARNING: Do Not Put Person in Washing Machine</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Wow, this washing machine is truly special because you can do your laundry and take a bath at the same time. If you get bored you can always watch your cloths going around in a circle. How dumb are people?</p>
<h3>WARNING: Do Not Eat iPod Shuffle</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now where did I put my iPod Shuffle? Oh, wait I think it was my lunch today so I know its safe and sound in my stomach. Seriously, I could not believe this warning label. A person who would eat an electronic device could not even be described in words.</p>
<h3>WARNING: If You Cannot Understand Directions, Do Not Use</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I have just one question. If you cannot read this label how will you be able to understand not to use this product?</p>
<h3>WARNING: Do Not Use a Lit Match to Check Fuel Level</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>What retard would use a lit match to check the fuel level? If you are that much of an idiot in the first place how in the world did you obtain a driver's license?</p>
<h3>WARNING: No Bad Language While Talking on Mobile Phone</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is just hilarious. What kind of warning is this exactly? I'm not a fan of foul language but come one are they for real?</p>
<h3>WARNING: Use Care when Operating a Car or Dangerous Machinery (medication for dogs)</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I don't know very many dogs that have the ability to drive but if I did maybe we could carpool to and from work to save on gas.</p>
<h3>WARNING: Stupidity</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/23/411091_9.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<![CDATA[<h3>Nebraska Senator Sues God</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/godcreatingstars_1.jpeg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Nebraska State Senator, Ernie Chambers, filed a lawsuit against God last year, claiming he made terroristic threats against the occupants of Omaha.&amp;nbsp; He also said that God inspired fear while causing "wide spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of Earth's inhabitants."&amp;nbsp; Douglas County District Court Judge, Marlon Polk, ruled that the plaintiff must have access to the defendant in order for the lawsuit to hold.&amp;nbsp; Considering the circumstances, that proved to be a little difficult.&amp;nbsp; Senator Chambers, however, claimed that because God is a recognized figure in the courts and is omniscent, he is already aware of the lawsuit against him and is therefore subject to the rulings like anyone else.</p>
<h3>One Jackass Sues Another</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/donkey_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A Montana man is suing Viacom, the media giant who produced the TV show "Jackass."&amp;nbsp; He claims the show, and later the movie, released in 2002, plagiarized his name, infringed on trademark, and defamed his good name.&amp;nbsp; That name?&amp;nbsp; Jack Ass.&amp;nbsp; He had it legally changed from Bob Craft to Jack Ass in 1997 in order to "raise awareness about the dangers of drunken driving."&amp;nbsp; (How?&amp;nbsp; Don't ask me...)&amp;nbsp; Jack Ass, the person, not the show, says he changed his name after his brother and a friend were killed in a car accident as the result of drunken driving.&amp;nbsp; He's seeking a minimum of $10 million in damages.</p>
<h3>Be Careful Who You Marry</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/800pxweddingrings_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A woman sued her fiance when he broke off their seven-week engagement.&amp;nbsp; A jury awared her a total of $178,000 in damages; $93,000 was for "pain and suffering," $60,000 for loss of income while she pursued this case, and $25,000 for psychiatric counseling.&amp;nbsp; That's pretty bad, but think about how much he'd be paying if he actually married her...</p>
<h3>The Effects of Car Accidents Aren't Just Physical</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/4220787f78b3736d5_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A 27-year-old Michigan man was involved in a minor rear-end collision.&amp;nbsp; Four years later, he sued the man who rear-ended him, claiming the accident caused a change in his sexuality.&amp;nbsp; He no longer desired his wife and was unable to perform sexually.&amp;nbsp; He claimed that the accident actually changed his entire personality, causing him to leave his wife, move in with his parents, and begin hanging out in gay bars.&amp;nbsp; The worst part of this case?&amp;nbsp; He actually won it!&amp;nbsp; He was awarded $200,000 and his wife was awarded $25,000.</p>
<h3>Haunted Houses Aren't Supposed to be Scary, Right?</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/hauntedhouse2_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In 2000, a woman sued Universal Studios for $15,000, claiming that the studio's Halloween Horror Nights haunted house caused her "extreme fear, mental anguish and emotional distress."&amp;nbsp; This poor woman.&amp;nbsp; I mean, she had absolutely no idea what she was getting into, right?&amp;nbsp; Who'd have thought...</p>
<h3>Michael Jordan Look-A-Like</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/michaeljordan_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In 2006,&amp;nbsp;a man&amp;nbsp;sued Michael Jordan&amp;nbsp;as well as the founder of Nike, Phil Knight, for $832 million.&amp;nbsp; He claimed that because he was often mistaken for the basketball star, he had suffered permanent damage, including defamation of character and emotional pain and suffering.&amp;nbsp; He later dropped the lawsuit.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<h3>Beer = Beautiful Women?</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/beer_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In 1991, a Michigan man sued Anheuser-Busch for false and misleading advertising.&amp;nbsp; He also claimed that he suffered personal injury as a result of the false advertisement.&amp;nbsp; In his complaint, he referenced a Bud Lite commerical in which two beautiful women come to life for a couple of Budweiser truck drivers.&amp;nbsp; Because this didn't happen to him when he drank the beer, he claimed that these false advertisements caused him emotional distress, mental injury, and financial loss.&amp;nbsp; He sued in excess of $10,000.&amp;nbsp; The court dismissed all his claims.</p>
<h3>Man Sues Himself</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/handcuffs_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In 1995, a prisoner by the name of Robert Lee Brock sued himself for $5 million.&amp;nbsp; He claimed he was entitled to sue himself because he had violated his own civil rights, as well as his religious beliefs, when he allowed himself to get drunk and commit crimes of grand larceny.&amp;nbsp; At the time of this lawsuit, he was serving a 23-year sentence for his crimes.&amp;nbsp; Brock claimed that because he was a ward of the state and was therefore prevented from earning an income, the state should have to pay the $5 million he owed himself.&amp;nbsp; This case was immediately thrown out.&amp;nbsp; Just more proof that prisoners have WAY too much time on their hands...</p>
<h3>Never Trust the Weatherman</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/weather20map_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A woman in Israel sued a tv station and it's weatherman for $1,000 when the weatherman predicted a sunny day and it rained.&amp;nbsp; She said that, because the forecast was clear, she left home underdressed.&amp;nbsp; She then caught the flu, missed 4 days of work, spent $38 on medications and "suffered stress" as a result of a badly forecasted day.</p>
<h3>The Sea Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/zwalltahitiwave1024_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A surfer recently sued another surfer after he had supposedly "stolen his wave."&amp;nbsp; The case was immediately dismissed because no price can be placed on the "pain and suffering" one endures when he watches another surfer ride a wave that was "intended" for him...&amp;nbsp; Bummer, dude.</p>
<h3>There's a Full Moon Tonight</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/fullmoonlarge_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>While attempting to moon someone out of his 4th story dorm room, an Idaho student lost his balance and fell, injuring himself.&amp;nbsp; He sued the university for "not warning him of the dangers of living on the fourth floor."&amp;nbsp; Who would have imagined that gravity had such an impact.</p>
<h3>It Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/truckvsnowmobile_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A woman hit a man on a snowmobile as he crossed a street.&amp;nbsp; The man died at the scene.&amp;nbsp; The police decided that because the man had cut in front of her without warning, she was free of blame.&amp;nbsp; However, she turned around and sued the man's widow, claiming that she suffered crippling psychological and emotional pain from watching the man die.&amp;nbsp; As if the widow didn't have enough to deal with, with the untimely death of her husband...</p>
<h3>Is It Supposed to Do That?</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/31722_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A convicted bank robber on parole walked into a bank, stated he had a bomb, and demanded the teller to give him all of the money.&amp;nbsp; As trained, the teller obeyed, also slipping an anti-theft device into the bag with the money.&amp;nbsp; The device released teargas, as intended, and the bank robber sued the bank for damages.</p>
<h3>No Good Deed Goes Unpunished</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/badhaircut_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A woman, looking to save a little money, asked her friend if he would give her a hair-cut.&amp;nbsp; Unhappy with her new look, however, she turned around and sued her friend, claiming he had "willfully, intentionally and maliciously" cut her hair without her consent.&amp;nbsp; She sought $75,000 in damages.</p>
<h3>When You Gotta Go</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/naturescallflowershapedurinalclarksorensenredhibiscus_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A man attending an Elton John/Billy Joel concert sued the city of San Diego.&amp;nbsp; He claims he suffered "emotional trauma" after he witnessed multiple women using the&amp;nbsp;urinals and toilets in the men's bathroom.&amp;nbsp; Not wanting to wait in the long lines for the ladies' bathroom, many of the women used the men's instead.&amp;nbsp; The man filed a $5.4 million lawsuit, claiming the incident was "extremely upsetting."&amp;nbsp; He claimed his right to privacy was violated, and he was subjected to a&amp;nbsp;"very disturbing" sight.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<h3>Killer Willy</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/seaworld_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In 1999, 27-year-old Daniel Dukes was found dead and naked on the back of an orca at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida.&amp;nbsp; Dukes' parents sued the park for several million dollars, claiming SeaWorld portrayed the dangerous killer whales as cuddly, huggable creatures.&amp;nbsp; Did I mention this man was 27-YEARS-OLD?!&amp;nbsp; Not a little kid who would normally be influenced by these false portrayals of deadly animals.&amp;nbsp; Really...they aren't nicknamed "killer whales" for nothing.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<h3>Burn, Baby, Burn</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/opusx3_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A North Carolina man purchased 24 rare and expensive cigars.&amp;nbsp; Because of their value, he decided to insure them...against fire.&amp;nbsp; The man smoked all of his cigars in less than a month and had yet to make a single payment on his fire insurance.&amp;nbsp; He filed a claim against the insurance company, stating that he had lost his cigars in a "series of small fires."&amp;nbsp; The insurance company obviously refused to pay, believing that he had simply used the cigars as intended.&amp;nbsp; The man won his case against the insurance company because they failed to specify the type of fire the cigars were insured against.&amp;nbsp; Because they failed to define an "unacceptable fire," the insurance company accepted the ruling against them and paid the man $15,000 for the cigars he had lost in the "fire."&amp;nbsp; However, the best part of this story is yet to come.&amp;nbsp; Shortly after the man cashed the check, the insurance company countered and had him arrested on 24 counts of arson.&amp;nbsp; The man was sentenced to 24 consecutive 1-year prison sentences.</p>
<h3>Oops</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/pregnantteen_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In Naples, Italy, a young man and his girlfriend were engaging in *ahem* "amorous activity" in the back of his little car when it was rear-ended by a large car.&amp;nbsp; According to the man, the impact from the collision caused them to momentarily lose control, resulting in pregnancy.&amp;nbsp; The couple sought compensation not only for car repairs, but also for the cost of the wedding that the couple decided to have after discovering his girlfriend was pregnant.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<h3>The King Lives?</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/17/elvispresley_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A Fort Worth man sued Elvis Presley Enterprises, claiming that Elvis was not actually dead.&amp;nbsp; He contends that the King faked his death and ran off to live a normal life.&amp;nbsp; How does he know this?&amp;nbsp; He has frequent phone conversations with him.</p>
<h3>Best Laid Plans</h3>

<title>21 Inches at a Time</title>
<link>http://www.purpleslinky.com/Humor/Life/21-Inches-at-a-Time.291363</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Why you might ask would anyone write about mowing the lawn? Cause it needs to be done and I'm the guy to do it having possession of a third acre lot and a 21 inch Toro. Needless to say, I've spent a lot of time grooming this parcel. I have retained many tricks and secrets from my adventures and just might be able to make this chore a little more pleasurable  and satisfying. OK! Maybe not. But if I can get one smile, from one person, while mowing their lawn after reading this it will all be worth it. OK. OK. Maybe not on that too.                          		For Me, having to manicure this larger than normal yard meant the only way to motivate myself to consistently perform this boring, monotonous task was to make some kind of challenge out of it. So I decided I was going to be the best lawn guy in the neighborhood. People would be in &amp;lsquo;Shock and Awl' as my shirtless body, drenched in sweat and my headband constructed of strips of cloth from old t-shirts, maneuvered that 6 horse Toro like a seasoned matador. I would be better than the lawn boy. Better than the guy across the street. Better than the guy next door. Even better than the " mow, blow, and go" guys.( I'm already better than the neighbors cause they PAY the "mow, blow, and go" guys to do theirs)!							So. Let me share some  tips with you that may make your next lawn mowing experience, truly, an experience you'll soon not forget. OK! Maybe not.<br /><br />Most of us don't have the equipment we want nor all the equipment we need. We learn to make do with what we have which is one of the reasons we tend to dread doing the lawn. Look . If your wife asked you to go to the store and pick up some milk in the families' 1990 Taurus station wagon you're gonna piss and moan for at least 30 seconds before you reluctantly concede your position. But if she tells you to take her 2008 ZO6 Vette, You'll go as many times as she wants and even try to make up reasons to go! So get the equipment you WANT if at all possible. Also, get as much as possible. The more, the better! There is nothing more frustrating than trying to trim a palm tree on a step ladder with a steak knife. A little tip here. When doing something of this nature, make sure the wife sees you. You'll take a lot of heat for the screwed up steak knife ( and a lot of "Now I know where they're all going"), but it will be worth the leverage when it comes to bartering for a pruning saw!                 					 																<br /><br />You need to be careful out there!	Lots of things can go wrong! Stay cool. I know its hard to do in 90 degree  weather, but be aware of how you feel. Take breaks if needed. You don't have to get it done as soon as possible. Hell, you don't' even have to get it done in one day! Make a weekend of it if you don't have anything to do. Another tip here. If your wife sees you don't have nothing to do, she'll impulsively drum up a &amp;lsquo;Honey Do' list and and then you&amp;lsquo;ll have lots to do. So stretch it out a little.											Look out for biting insects and poisonous plants. If you're dressed properly you won't have a shirt on, ( Yes! Woman too!), and you wouldn't want to appear to have more than 2 nipples.									ALWAYS keep control of your mower. It can be embarrassing and quite dangerous to loose control, especially if it's not self propelled.					Always wear SHOES and SOCKS when weed eating. Do not try this task with your favorite flip flops! Just trust me on this one.					Stay focused. Neighbors and wives can be distracting. Should they try to interrupt your progress, pretend the mowers to loud to hear them. If you see they have a beer, ignore this suggestion. I mean, would you rather mow the lawn or drink a beer? This should be a no brainer. If you have to think about this you're way to serious to get anything out of this guide.	Tip: If you don't like beer this tip can apply to ice tea as well.																      <br /><br />Try using different mowing patterns to get different effects. You can lower the mower,( Hey! That rhymes!)on one side to give  a more definite mowing line. They better be straight though. When mowing your line, try focusing on an object or clump of grass an the end of your line and not on the edge of the mower or the previous line. Your lines should be straighter this way. If this does not work, you probably need a beer. Get one and try again. If this doesn't help, get another one and lets go with a curvy look.								Work in sections and mix them up from week to week. Boxes and rectangles work best. Make a perimeter and work your way in. I tried circles but if no one knows what your doing you'll look like a frickin idiot ,which can cost you some free beers in the future. Be Smart!									Always edge, weed eat, then mow, then blow, in THAT ORDER. Never! Never! Blow first. Just trust me on this one!  							Don't gas up before you start. Instead of trying to finish before you run out, see if you can run out before you finish.							Go ahead and do your neighbors lawn. Not to be nice, but to screw with his head. To increase the effectiveness, deny you did it, even if he watched you do it! Or even, ask to borrow his mower to mow your lawn and when your	 finish, mow his with yours!	<br /><br />Don't let your wife help with the landscaping except in flower beds or gardens. You don't want any obstacle to interfere with your lines and you know if she can, she's going to plant that little bush or bushes right in your line! Tell her the lawn is yours and the rest is hers. Just say whoever does the lawn, has to mow the lawn. You will have no argument here.						If you have a good wife, she will leave you alone and not disturb you while you mow. That's  a good sign of a good wife. Don't have a wife? Well , most likely you don't have a lawn either. So read one of my other books!				Do not mow in the rain! It clogs up the mower and is hard on your equipment. BUT WAIT! This might be effective in the screwing with your neighbor game. Especially mowing in the rain at night! Never mind!					Do not mow at night! Again, unless your screwing with	your neighbors head! You can duct tape a Maglite to the handle bar and get a whole bunch of neighbors in one night!										Kerosene is not a very good substitute for Gasoline. You're just gonna have to trust me on this one too!									If you catch some one letting there dog crap in your yard, find out where they live and go crap <br /><br />in their yard! Yeah! You! Your getting a reputation now. They will fear you!&amp;nbsp;								Thank you if you've made it this far in my little book, 21 INCHES AT A TIME! I hope it brought a smile to your face and the next time you mow your lawn, SMILE!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FLife%2F21-Inches-at-a-Time.291363"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FLife%2F21-Inches-at-a-Time.291363" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Signs, signs everywhere are signs.&amp;nbsp; What a very true song indeed.&amp;nbsp; There are simply too many signs for people to even bother paying attention to.&amp;nbsp; Can you imagine if everything you brought home a new toaster or curling iron or cleaning product if you sat and read all of the warnings on them?&amp;nbsp; You wouldn't have time to have a job to buy more stuff to read the warnings of!&amp;nbsp; The amount of warnings has completely soared beyond absurd.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes it's in your best interest to read the warnings though.&amp;nbsp; They could save your life or completely make you laugh!</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/25/255346375817b2a139ef_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Thanks McCain for letting us know that cooking something makes it hot.&amp;nbsp; Thank goodness you told us that.&amp;nbsp; I wouldn't want to burn my finger and sue you for a million bucks claiming I was too stupid to know that.&amp;nbsp; If you don't understand that cooking makes something hot, how would you know to cook it?&amp;nbsp; If a tree falls in the forest...&amp;nbsp; You get my drift!</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/25/2010421568b5c2e65fa9_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Okay, I'm following the use the safety seat and belts provided part of the sign.&amp;nbsp; I'm not sure why it's unsafe to put them in the grocery portion of the cart or how you'd even have room for groceries if they were in there.&amp;nbsp; It's the underneath part of the sign that is most concerning.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes I think you should have to pass some sort of test before becoming a parent.&amp;nbsp; Does this mean somebody put their kid under the cart and they got hurt?&amp;nbsp; There must have been some reason that's on the sign...scary.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/28/16204794678ca37def0_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/70/162047946_78ca37def0.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">Image Source</a></p>
<p>This warning on a plastic bag is completely valid.&amp;nbsp; You definitely should not put a plastic bag over your head or let kids play with it.&amp;nbsp; It's the pictures of the warning that are so amusing.&amp;nbsp; The guy on the left is choking himself while singing in a choir with a pickle jar on his head and the baby on the right looks like he's an astronaut!&amp;nbsp; Maybe they could have just wrote "Don't put plastic bags on your head dummy" in 15 different languages or something.</p>

<p>This warning label is from a sling shot.&amp;nbsp; The warnings all make sense until they say "Never aim your PocketShot at people or animals, not even cats.".&amp;nbsp; Some warning writer sure doesn't like cats!&amp;nbsp; Hysterical!!!</p>

<p>This paper shredder must have a lot more options than the one we have.&amp;nbsp; There's no way I'd consider putting my hand or tie in the shredder!&amp;nbsp; Only the middle sign makes any sense.&amp;nbsp; No staples or paper clips -- okay.&amp;nbsp; No hand and no tie --- what?&amp;nbsp; What did I even buy this thing for?&amp;nbsp; At least I can put my hair in it!</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/28/134294477405e60e7680_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>This sign posted near a San Francisco beach makes a lot of sense in most beaches.&amp;nbsp; Totally good for a laugh and keeps people's rear ends covered!&amp;nbsp; Reminds me of when I was shopping for my wedding shoes.&amp;nbsp; I wanted to get flip flops to wear under my dress for the ceremony so I ran to Pay Less.&amp;nbsp; I found the perfect white sparkly flip flops while shopping there with my Mom.&amp;nbsp; Unfortunately, I yelled out "Hey Mom, I just found my wedding thongs!" really loud in the store.&amp;nbsp; It sure make everyone look at us!</p>

<p>This sign itself is strange.&amp;nbsp; The dog is not vicious or rabid or loud or likely to bite.&amp;nbsp; It's just a little strange.&amp;nbsp; I wonder what that means?&amp;nbsp; Is it wearing one of the Halloween costumes I wrote about in 10 Hysterically Funny Costumes for Dogs?</p>

<p>Why did they need to make a law against feeding alligators?&amp;nbsp; Would all violators of this law be "taken care of" during the commission of the crime?&amp;nbsp; And what exactly do they mean by "molesting alligators"?&amp;nbsp; Perhaps that's best left unknown...</p>

<p>You're on your own for the next 3 miles.&amp;nbsp; You'll have to be ever vigilant of dangers around you.&amp;nbsp; We're warning you that we're not going to warn you.&amp;nbsp; Um, is there something that you should be warning us about?&amp;nbsp; Why didn't you make a sign for that instead of warning us there were no warning signs?</p>
<p>So, the next time you're driving around or cooking your lunch or walking down the street, pay attention to the signs around you.&amp;nbsp; You never know what they might say!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FTravel%2FNine-Funny-Warnings-Signs-to-Make-You-Laugh.277025"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FTravel%2FNine-Funny-Warnings-Signs-to-Make-You-Laugh.277025" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Stupid Accidents: True or Not?</title>

<![CDATA[<ol>
<li>A group of children where playing hide-and-seek in the forest, near a gas station. One of the children start counting down, and two little boys decided to go hide at the gas station. Meanwhile, a truck with a gas-load stopped at the station to deliver his cargo. The two little boys saw the truck and thought that the best hiding place was <u>under</u> the truck. When the second child (he had overweight) tried to get under the truck, he get stuck. The other boy crawled under the vehicle and went for help. But the truck driver already stepped in and the fat kid managed to get half his body under the truck. The truck driver did already started the engine when the other kid saw that the truck was busy to drive away. The kid ran to the vehicle, smacked the door open and ripped the astonished driver out of his seat. Nobody got hurt, although the driver had some scratches.</li>
<li>On a rainy day, a 37 year old man on holiday&amp;nbsp;decided to climb a mountain not far from his camping. So he climbed and climbed until he reached the top. On the edge of the hill, there was a big mossy rock, and the man thought apparently that standing on that rock would be really cool. So he climbed on the (by the rain very slippy) rock, but slipped and tumbled over the edge of the top. He rolled down a few meters, hurting himself painfully at sharp rocks. At the end of his 134 meter long trip down he ended op in the hospital, heavily wounded, but only with some scarfs to remember him of the accident.</li>
<li>Would you go barbecue if it rained like a hurricane was standing still above you? Probably not, but the 46 year old Steven Hunter won't let stop his diner by some rain. What do you do in this case? Of course anybody who hasn't <strike></strike>fallen on his head would go barbecue inside? So Steven installed his barbecue in the middle of his room, with some newspapers and&amp;nbsp;a few bottles of&amp;nbsp;spiritus. Strangely enough, the fire wasn't interested in burning in this room with high humidity, but a full bottle of spiritus would do the trick. A big explosion blasted Steven out of his window. His wounds weren't to horrible, but the rainy weather didn't want to help to put the fire out, and Steven watched how his house burned down to the ground.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now, witch of these three 'tales' is true?</p>
<p>Answer: None of them is true, I all made them up!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FOffbeat%2FStupid-Accidents-True-or-Not.242437"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FOffbeat%2FStupid-Accidents-True-or-Not.242437" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
