Irony

When I was a teenager, I worked at a movie theater. (Loved that job, for the record!) It always amused me when people would order extra large popcorn with extra butter, a milk duds, red vines and a diet coke! Ok... seriously... just enjoy the real sugar in a real coke. But, I now know that people can just really prefer diet coke. But still... I appreciated the irony!


It is 25 years later and I still appreciate irony.

Take for example my experience at Sprouts today. (Sprouts is a grocery store with a heavy emphasis on organic, healthy foods... lots of fruits and vegetables, and a very large organic selection!)

I was standing in line to pay and overhead the following conversation...

Lady #1: ... today is the first day back to shopping... I've been recovering from surgery.

Lady #2: Oh man... is everything ok?

Lady #1: Well, I had to have my boob job fixed... one of the sacs was leaking. It was painful, but I'm doing a ton better.

Lady #2: Did you have the sac removed?

ME: THUNK!!!!! that is the sound of me hitting my head on the credit card machine. 'Cuz clearly NOTHING had been removed... if you know what I mean!

Lady #1: Oh no. He just fixed it. Left everything there!

Lady #2: Well... you look great! You are just beautiful!

Lady #1: Thanks! I also had my lips done this summer and LOVE them!

Note: I'm paraphrasing a bit.

It was a difficult conversation to listen to...

these ladies had JUST met... standing in line at the store!!!

Now... to the ironic part!! I bought some raw trail mix. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. At check out, I asked the cashier if she had ever tried it. She said no. I indicated I was a little nervous because I usually buy salted... but wanted to try raw.

The lady behind me... Lady #1 said... "oh... you'll be so much happier with the organic stuff! When they start adding all the chemicals and crap it just ruins the natural product!!!

It took me several minutes to pull it together enough to trust myself to speak! I love irony!!!

True story!!! I promise!

More Horrible License Plates

My teenage son and I were driving home from a girls softball game last season, and he saw a car that impressed him. He wanted me drive closer so he could get a better look.

I noticed a HILARIOUS license plate.

So I drive VERY fast (not as fast as the corvette, because I was in a Honda...) but fast enough that when the corvette braked to make a right turn, I almost 'owned' a piece of that pretty cool car.

But, I got the picture.

And, it was posted on the Horrible License Plates blog this morning.

Photo credit was given to Katie O. Not sure who she is... but maybe it's an inside joke. Like maybe she's the sister-in-law of the HLP writer, who gets just a little too mean every four weeks or so! Wouldn't that be funny if it was the new mother-in-law of the writer???

If you don't check the HLP blog every day... you MUST. It is always good for a laugh!!

It's worth the four minutes, or so, it takes to watch!

And... it made me laugh. I needed the laugh!

Ford Flex

Is it a car???

Or a hearse???


Seriously? It looks like a hearse, doesn't it?

If you are interested in details about this macabre vehicle, click here.

Ford has this car listed as a Crossover car... how appropriate!

Great Deal?

A Twist on the Traditional "Magic 8 Ball"

These hilarious gag gifts are only $8.00 each at McPhee. I like giving little "this-is-so-perfect-I-just-had-to-get-it-for-you" gifts to friends and family. I think that these magic balls would be perfect... especially at just $8 each.

Some of the items on the McPhee website are bizarre... like this one and this one... but they really do have some clever stuff.

Enjoy!

Invisible Dog Leash Shoes???

Do you remember these invisible dog leashes? The gag of the decade... about three decades ago? I think the maker of those leashes gave shoe designing a shot...

Weird, huh? Actually made me laugh!

I'm kind of addicted to this license plate stalking thing...

The other day, I was out running errands and FREAKED out. I totally forgot my cell phone and I didn't have a camera either. What on earth was I going to do if I found a good/bad plate???

So... I refused to even look at license plates. Seriously. I avoided even looking at a single plate.

Horrible License Plates ... I wish I had thought of it!

Supreme Sacrifice Day

Today is Supreme Sacrifice Day!

I'm not making this up! Click here.

The website explains...

Supreme Sacrifice Day recognizes the ultimate sacrifice made by some for the good of others.

History is filled with examples of people who offered the supreme sacrifice for other people.

Today is a day to reflect and offer thanks and appreciation to those who made the supreme sacrifice for us.

Note: I am making fun a little of this holiday... that is why I edited some of the information from the website. I don't want to be irreverent.

So... in honor of this holiday... I would like to pay tribute to a great sacrifice that recently took place in my home. After three-plus years of faithful service, we said goodbye to a big part of our daily lives today! Today... Supreme Sacrifice Day, we recognize the dependability, the reliability of our good friend. She was there for us, day in and day out... always willing to do the icky work, and always doing it so silently and efficiently.

Yes, our dishwasher died a very ugly, loud death today.

But, due to the remarkable advancement of appliance repairs and after a very short wait on the transplant list... our beloved friend received a motor transplant today. Oh glory be!

So, the Supreme Sacrifice that I hail today is not only that of our dishwasher, but also that of my husband's wallet!

Thank you! Thank you!

Bad Tattoo

I found this joke in the March 2009 edition of the Reader's Digest. It made me laugh outloud.

The thing you need to focus on in your 20s is not getting a bad tattoo. You don't want to be 40 and going "No, dude, it was different back then - everyone loved SpongeBob."

I found this funny little story in the September 2008 Reader's Digest. It was part of an article called "Our 50 Funniest (True!) Stories." It was a story submitted by reader Catherine Burns. Enjoy!

My 50-something friend Nancy and I decided to introduce her mother to the magic of the Internet. Our first move was to access the popular Ask Jeeves site, and we told her it could answer any question she had. Nancy's mother was very skeptical until Nancy said, "It's true, Mom. Think of something to ask it."

As I sat with my fingers poised over the keyboard, Nancy's mother thought for a minute, then responded, "How is Aunt Helen feeling?"
