Here’s something funny for a Friday. Recently, I’ve had two situations of mistakes in the manufacturing process. No kidding, I scratched my head.
First, there is the paper situation. Is one pad for right handed, the other for left handed?
Second, toilet paper, the one on the right wasn’t crushed, the cardboard inside was mangled.
What do you make of this in a short period of time? I guess I’m supposed to get a good chuckle? Like that hidden camera show where they say, “You’ve been Punk’d.” We need to laugh a little, right.
Actually, my twin brother was good at pulling pranks like this. Maybe I was meant to THINK of him!
Did you hear this in the news recently? Chicago and Heinz ketchup at war. Well, not really, but here is what is funny. I live in Chicago and I did not know that Chicagoans look down on people who put ketchup on their hot dogs. Yes, once you turn 18, no more ketchup. You are an adult now (so funny).
Recently, Heinz was in town. They put up a ketchup dispensing billboard outside the Weiner stand, allowing people to get ketchup packets for their hot dogs. I “think” people would be too embarrassed to use ketchup on the hot dog, but would use them on the fries. A funny marketing idea and it gets us thinking about Heinz ketchup – Brilliant!
I started to investigate further. Did you know there is site for “Hot Dog Etiquette,” from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. They teach the Dos/Don’ts of hot dog eating. It’s very amusing. Here are a few to make you chuckle, common sense, you’ll enjoy the video.
Don’t eat hot dog on china, always on paper plate. No wine with a hot dog, only beer. No cloth napkin, only paper one. Only 5 bites to eat your hot dog…. WATCH the video for more tips BEFORE coming to Chicago.
So, the BIG question to ALL of you is this…
Do YOU use ketchup on your hot dog? Shhhh… I do, if there are no other condiments around.
I carefully took this photo, trying not to look at the sun. The sun is bright, it hurts our eyes to look toward it. This was a neat photo between the trees. Looks like a spooky Halloween photo. We just need a witch flying by on her broomstick.
I look forward to seeing what the media shows later today.
Easter is early this year. The cookies in the photo are from “An Italian in my Kitchen.” I’ve been following Rosemary Molley, a Canadian, who married an Italian and has been living in Italy for over 25 years. On her website, she shares so many wonderful recipes she learned from her mother/n/law and just living in Italy.
For Easter, she has a variety of breads, cakes, cookies that you can try out. If you are looking for a good Italian recipe, you’ll find so many great ideas. I like her soups, stews, pasta, pizza and dessert dishes. In fact, there is a lemon mousse I want to try.
Wishing those of you who celebrate this holiday a “HAPPY EASTER!”
I was playing around with Canva. Right now, when I look at this image, it’s sparkling. However, when I press publish, I’m not sure if the sparkles will remain. At any rate, it’s nice to try new programs.
For those of you not familiar with Canva, it’s a free graphic design tool allowing you to create graphics for presentations, social media, logos, etc. There is a bit of a learning curve, for me anyhow. I’ve worked a little bit in Photoshop, so I can see it is somewhat similar, just need to get up to speed on how to use the different tools on the dashboard.
Recently, I saw these two paintings. I wasn’t looking for paintings, but they caught my attention, because I have two daughters. I thought they depicted their personalities.
The elephants when they are stressed. The giraffes when they are trying to decide what to do.
I find life amusing.
At any given moment in life, we can see, hear, smell something and a vision comes to us or we are transported back in time. For example, recently, I smelled some lilacs and I was brought back to my childhood when they were in bloom.
Have you had a recent memory come to you after seeing “something?”
Love can be found. I saw this telephone booth in Nashville. Yes, you can try to find a cowboy! I didn’t try to call the number. I wonder if it worked. I’m sure they’d say something amusing, right.
A lady was dressed all in pink. She was with her husband, I saw her by the booth. I asked if she wanted a picture with her husband. She said, “YES,” it was her birthday. So, I took the picture. THEN she pulled me aside. She whispered, “You take picture of me alone, no husband.”
Laughing, “Ok,” I said.
She was hamming it up for the camera. This pose, that pose. She must have been in her 50s. As I was taking photos, I told her it would be fun if she pretended she was making a phone call. She picked up the phone, more poses. It was fun being the photographer.
Whether you have someone or not, you can still have a heartfelt day! 💕
I was looking for a show to watch on Netflix. I felt like a little kid, so many choices, but everything seemed BORING. Until I clicked on this show called, “FISK.” It’s an Australia comedy TV show. The show takes place in a small solicitors office focused on probate law.
Remember The Office? FISK has similar humor in an office setting. However, this show is focused on clients and their wills. The show has great characters, amusing story lines, and lovely Australian accents. It’s a bit slower paced, which might have you yawning from time to time. Still, the chuckles over the clients are worth sticking it out. They really do come up with some comical skits. I don’t want to give it away…
Right now, there are two seasons, hoping for a third.
Have you watched the show? Would love to hear what YOU thought about it.
Have you seen this in the news? I still don’t understand it completely. Why did Schwarzenegger have to declare the luxury watch. I travel to Europe quite often and I’m never asked to declare anything. Only when I am coming back to America. I don’t think Germany allows for dual citizenship unless that law changed.
Maybe this is because he was going to Auction off the watch in Austria, so then it goes from being a “personal watch” for himself to “selling goods” for profit? So, he had to declare it at the first point of entry into the EU? Someone must have alerted Customs to this.
He had to pay hefty fines: $38,000, including $4,000 tax value and approximately $5,000 penalty. The comedy in this, is that Custom’s credit card machine was not working. So, they brought Schwarzenegger to a bank, which was closed and he could not withdraw enough money due to withdrawal limits.
Curious, the value of the watch was $30,000, so he was paying more than the watch was worth? But then he was going to Auction it starting at 50,000 euros.
Luckily, Schwarzenegger had good humor. His mind immediately went to — GREAT COP MOVIE!
It would be funny to see a movie made out of this situation, with him as the main actor!! Did you know he is 76 years old now. Wow, getting close to 80.
Brilliant Viewpoint
