  • That’ll Teach Him to Sleep on the Job!

    One guy found out the hard way that sleeping on the job isn’t a good thing.

    Seems that the other day, a Fedex employee was at work.  He was working the graveyard shift.  About 4AM he got really sleepy; he dozed off.

    He woke up somewhat later – and discovered he had a rather serious problem.

    You see, Memphis is Fedex’s air hub location; the guy worked for Fedex at the Memphis Airport.  His job was loading Fedex cargo and packages onto aircraft.

    The guy had dozed off on board one of Fedex’s aircraft, in the cargo bay, in Memphis.  When the guy woke up, that Fedex plane was was now airborne – and en route to Lubbock, TX.

    The aircrew discovered the stowaway during the flight, and alerted LE on arrival at Lubbock Airport.  The guy was questioned and released.

    No word on whether the guy has been fired by Fedex.

    Fox News has an article with a few more details.  It’s a hoot.

  • Yer Monday Funny: So, What Does One Guy In Russia Think of the POTUS?

    And no, I’m not talking about Vladimir Putin.  Based on recent events in the Baltic (see here and here for details), I’m guessing pretty much everyone in the world has a fair idea of what Putin thinks about the Current Occupant, 1600 Penn Ave.  (smile)

    But apparently he’s not alone.

    The guy in question is named Dmitry Zhdanov; he lives in eastern Siberia.  He runs a place called the “President Cafe”.

    Zhdanov apparently is a huge fan of Vladimir Putin.  The POTUS?  Not so much.  This photo pretty much says it all.

    The UK Telegraph has an article about the cafe.  If you have a few minutes and want a chuckle, IMO it’s worth a look.

    No word on where Zhdanov buys his TP.  (smile)

  • Yer Friday Funny: No Sh!t??! No. Sh!t.

    There are museums for damn near everything.  Hell, we’ve probably all been to or heard of a museum or two that we thought was pretty bizarre.

    But in England, there’s a new museum that’s really “out there”.

    The National Poo Museum opened recently in the UK.  It’s located on the Isle of Wight.

    No, I’m not joking.  They exist, and they have a website.

    Turns out this isn’t the first such museum in the world, either.  A similar museum apparently opened in Italy some time ago.  It’s located in Castelbosco, and calls itself “Mueso della Merda“.

    It’s not just a European “thing”, either.  It also appears that there is has been a similar museum in Japan since at least 2012.  There’s also a toilet museum in South Korea.

    No word on when the corresponding US version will open, or even if one is planned.  However, I’ve got the perfect location for it if and when it does.  IMO it should be located riverside, just downstream of that beltway-encircled Brothel on the Potomac.  (smile)

    —–

    (Note: no, I don’t have a dung fixation.  I saw an article about the UK museum’s opening, thought it was funny – then lost the link.  I found the info about the other similar museums while searching for the original link.  I got a good chuckle out of them and thought others might as well, so I decided to write an article about the group.)

  • Seems Apropos For Today

    Today is National Beer Day.  April 7 is the day when Prohibition ended in 1933.

    Somehow, this repeat from close to a year ago seems apropos.  Enjoy. (smile)

     

     

    WARNING: Drinking too much of this stuff can lead to your doing some truly stupid sh!t, followed by waking up hung-over and naked next to someone who is absolutely FUGLY.  Use in moderation.

    And if you do manage to overindulge . . . be nice to your friends, family, and colleagues.  Make sure you spend the next day in a well-ventilated area. (smile)

  • Wonder If They Have A Suspect?

    Ran across this perusing the news.

    $7 million cheese heist

    Turns out it was in Italy.  So it probably wasn’t anyone we know.

    (smile)

  • The Official Bottled Water of the UC-Berkeley, Maybe?

     

    No, the photo isn’t a joke. It’s bottled by Polar Seltzer, and the flavor is called “Unicorn Kisses”. The stuff really exists.

    I’m guessing it will be very popular among “Progressive” fans of Bernie the Commie, though. It’s based on fantasy – sorta like Bernie the Commie’s view of how things “should be”.

  • Yer Friday Smile: Spreading American Culture, One Pie At a Time

    Enjoy.  (smile)

  • Sunday Morning Entertainment: And Now, For Something Completely Different

    No, it’s not Monty Python’s man with three buttocks. (smile) It’s a bit of “lawn bowling”, so to speak.

    Yep, it’s a strike – “bowled” from nearly 500 feet (492 feet, to be precise). On a freaking golf course, no less.

    Impressive. Perhaps not exactly useful – but impressive.
