was recently watching some random YooToob video of an orchestra playing some work that featured an organ, when I captured this moment in a screen grab. What struck me most wasn't the obvious fact that the fire extinguisher cabinet was empty, or why you would need to lock the fire extinguisher cabinet, but rather why would you need a fire extinguisher next to the organ console way up in the
was shaking my head then and I am still chuckling when I realize that the copy writer of this display ad must've had writer's block when trying to point out the obvious benefits of this particular piece of hardware. Imagine the luxury of an On/Off switch back
Used Mustard? was recently browsing mustard varieties on Amazon and was quite surprised (not to mention disguested) to find tha among the filters on the left, was one where shoppers could choose either New or Used jars of mustard! It's nice to know that we have choices. You'd think that those worthies whose job it is to make Amazon's shopping experience a pleasant one would take a moment to see
aolo Esperanza, bass-trombonist with the Simphonica Mayor de Uruguay, in a misplaced moment of inspiration, decided to make his own contribution to the cannon shots fired as part of the orchestra’s performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture at an outdoor children’s concert. In complete seriousness he placed a large, ignited firecracker, which was equivalent in strength to a quarter stick of dynamite, into his aluminum straight mute and then stuck the
nly in San Francisco. These earnest entrepreneurs plug quarters into parking meters, set up a few tables and chairs, and rent "office" space by the half hour to those just getting their startups going. When I read this, I first thought it was a late April Fool joke, but apparently it's true. Just keep plugging quarters into your parking meter and enjoy the sun while you do your work. Looks

Sometimes the good folks who stock items at the local supermarket are too busy to look for inconsistencies in marking
It is truly painful to watch the impeachment hearings when Devin Nunes (R-Fresno), a putative dairy farmer, keeps stepping in meadow muffins... And Nunes had only his Steele Dossier talking points to close with. When all you have is a milking bucket and chair, everything looks like a cow udder. But it takes a lot of pull. You just have to know how to tug the right way. That one

Steve: who's ready for a monday morning joke guyz? Steve: knock knock... Steve who's there? Steve: Irish Stu David: Oh hi, Stu, come on in, it's been a while. What brings you round this way? David: Just passing by, huh? Cool, cool. Just as long as Sarah didn't kick you out of the house, ha ha David: "Stu starts crying uncontrollably" David: Oh shit, she did? Man, I am so
Likewise trying to dig morsels of meat out of shrimp, crab, and snail shells is darn near impossible if you're using a steak fork? And trying to stir your coffee with a soup spoon or slurping soup with a teaspoon? In 7th grade (in 1954-5) (on the SF peninsula) we had an interesting hour. The first two quarters we boys had three days in woodshop and the girls had cooking
Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. When they lit a fire in the craft it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, was known as
Q: What do you call a 3.14' long snake? A: A πthon. Me: The mail lady told me she was heading to Spain for a vacation. I asked her if she was going to visit Parcelona. She proceeded to ignore what I thought was a decent joke. Marc: Well, did you say it right? The key to a good mailman joke is in the delivery
A customer comes up to me - a customer service rep at a supermarket - with a can of table salt. Customer: “There’s no expiration date on this.” Me: “No, sir.” Customer: “But how will I know when it goes bad?” Me: “Um, it’s salt. It doesn’t go bad.” Customer: “Nonsense! All food goes bad!” Me: “Sir, salt does not go bad. It’s a mineral.” Customer: “It’s food! It goes
