The Funny Side of Life

Woman Gets Naked To Shut Up Annoying Men

This from unNEWSual.com (which I happen to own):

One Israeli tourist in New Zealand, however, was fed up with the constant attention from male Kiwis, so when a rowdy band of road workers started wolf whistling she decided to put them in their place — by taking off her clothes!

Reuters quotes one Police Sergeant Peter Masters as saying, “She said she had thought, ‘Bugger them, I’ll show them what I’ve got.’”

It’s Called a Hammer

This today from TMZ (by way of MomLogic.com) regarding Hillary Clinton and coconuts:

Apparently Chelsea wanted to try a coconut when she was 4-years-old, and Hill tried to grant her daughter’s wish. The Senator managed to find a coconut in Arkansas, but couldn’t crack it when she finally got it home. Even hubby Bill, a Rhodes Scholar, was at a loss. With 50 years of education between her and the former prez, Hillary confessed neither one of them could figure out how to break open that nut.

Note to Hill and Bill: It’s called a hammer. *

Let’s hope that 3 A.M. call won’t be about an imminent monkey attack. Hey, I’ve seen Planet of the Apes, thank you very much!

 

 
*You might want to hammer a nail into the coconut first to make a couple small holes and drain the milk before going all Lizzie Borden on its fuzzy hide. ;)

Inadvertent Humor or Backhanded Commentary?

Take any list of seemingly random links and you’ll inevitably find unintended patterns in them, sometimes amusing patterns. Take this list of links to stories on MSN today:

Shoes Without Socks

You know those little, disposable nylons they have for women who want to try on shoes? Do men who wear shoes without socks use those when buying shoes? Nope, huh?

Think about it some more. Grossed out yet?

Frankly that’s a look I’ve never understood. “Look at me! My shoes squeak and make wet farty noises when I walk. Aren’t I cool?

What’s worse, regular shoes without socks, or sandals with socks?

 

The Incredible Disappearing Friend Request

More MySpace “friend” nonsense.

This afternoon, the following subject line graced my email summary:

MySpace Friend Request Trista would like to be added as one of your friends!

Hi Gene,

Trista would like to be added to your MySpace friends list.

Et cetera.

So, I logged into my MySpace account to check this “Trista” out. The control panel blinked happily “New Friend Request!” I clicked on it. The friend request page was blank. Nothing. “No friend requests pending.”

Huh. Now what was that about?

MySpace sends out an email when someone supposedly wants to be your friend, but nothing if they take it back. I think they should send a second email in such cases, something like:

MySpace Friend Request The biatch changed her mind

Hi Gene,

Um, forget we said anything.
