Some funny signs out there:

I saw a cartoon once where a bunch of dogs were standing around the office and one of them had a toupee strapped to his back. One of the dogs tells him "you know you're not fooling anyone with that Dan, we all know you have the mange".

Damn, I wish I would have saved that.

[HairOfTheDog]

∧ I haven't seen that one.

This dog cartoon made me laugh when I first saw it:



This one too:

Aussie makes me laugh.

[Duchess]

Aussie is a doll. She makes me laugh whenever she's around.

Aussiefriend makes me laugh when she's trying to be funny. She also makes me laugh when she's being serious. She also makes me laugh when she's got too much on her hands in RL and starts to melt. Aussie is a funny chick.

Aussiefriend is someone that I know that I'd laugh my ass off with if ever we met in real life. (FAHQTOO as well, though I'm not sure we'd remember it, and surely wouldn't care!).

Lots of weird shit makes me laugh, but usually it's deliberate or accidental wordplay. For example, tonight while I was driving home there was some forum show on NPR talking about a local theater program for teens. They were talking the usual bla bla bla about support for the arts and the benefits of theater, and I was two seconds from turning the dial when the girl in charge says what they REALLY need is more Friendly Adult Presences, "Or FAPS, as we like to call them."

They proceeded to talk about FAPS for the next ten minutes: how hard it was to get FAPS at the theater, how much the kids would benefit from a lot more FAPS, how often FAPS were overlooked as a key part of a successful production. Even the host was getting in on it, asking what was the best way to get more FAPS, what effect FAPS had on student morale...

I swear to god, by the time I got home I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe. I nearly pissed myself. I haven't laughed so hard since I read the Batman comic with all the references to Joker's biggest boner. So fucking juvenile, but the funniest thing I've heard in a while, and funniest thing NPR has EVER had.

I'm not sure whether this made me laugh or freak out more. I'm thinking laugh...

My son was at a very expensive skate camp this past week. Each cabin was awarded points for the neatness of their cabin each morning and the cabin with the most points won a pizza party. My son confessed today that his cabin members (8 or so boys) went and trashed the cabin that won the pizza award. They spilled waters, scattered candy on the ground and generally made a mess of the cabin. One kid stuck a mattress in the shower.

I'm disturbed, perturbed and kind of amused. I told him I would have KILLED him if I got a call from the camp kicking him out. But wtf, if that's not camp fun, I don't know what is.

[HairOfTheDog]

I had never heard "FAP" before encountering Ma. If I'd heard that radio program before then, I might have been moved to volunteer my services to promote more FAPs at public venues throughout the city.

Sometimes Mock is very educational in avoiding self-humiliation in RL.

Hm. I'm torn. I can't decide if that is good, clean fun or bad sportsmanship and vandalism. Guess the standards aren't the same at skate camp...


At least he didn't come home with tales of an homoerotic experience.

Next time you tell the story, leave out the part about the camp being expensive. It makes it sound like you paid so your kid can do whatever...

It was expensive and if he'd gotten kicked out I would have been irate.
I'm with you on the clean fun or juvenile delinquency/bad sportsmanship. Still pondering that. He's usually a good kid so...I'm inclined to write this one off.

[Donovan]

Trashing a room after a loss is bad form. Straighten that boy out. Ask him how pissed he'd have been if his cabin won and some other dickheads wrecked his stuff.

When one of my kids did that when they were 16 he had to go through diversion to avoid being charged with felony destruction of property, so your mileage may vary. That's the only time they ever acted like that so...

Mock makes me laugh. That's why I come here, I need the comic relief.

[Clang McFly]

You ARE the comic relief.
