Just Jokes

My sister walked into a men's clothing store looking to buy a shirt for me and pants for my stepfather. Now, I'm well over six feet tall and my stepdad is pretty short, so she asked a salesman for help. "I'm looking for a shirt with an 18 neck and 38-inch sleeves," she told him, "and trousers with a 30-inch waist and an inseam of 27 inches." After absorbing those measurements, the salesman said, "I have to ask. Do this guy's knuckles drag on the floor?"

I do the water and sewer billing for a small city in Washington State. Customers complained about our postcard-sized bills -- which they said looked too much like junk mail -- so we decided to start sending full-sized bills in envelopes. The month before we made the switch, I had a note printed on the cards, announcing the change. Two days later, I heard someone yelling at our receptionist "Is this some kind of joke?" When the customer threw his bill on the desk, I saw his point. The note was printed: "Coming Soon! New Larger Bills!"

-------------------------------------------

Late one night I stopped at one of those 24-hour gas station mini-marts to get myself a fresh-brewed cup of coffee. When I picked up the pot, I could not help noticing that the brew was as black as asphalt and just about as thick. "How old is the coffee you have here?" I asked the woman who was standing behind the store counter. She shrugged. "I don't know. I've only been working here two weeks."

-------------------------------------
Service in the restaurant was abysmally slow. My husband was starting to flip out, so I tried to distract him with small talk.
"You know," I said, "our friend Christi should be having her baby anytime now."
"Really?" my husband snapped. "She wasn't even pregnant when we walked in here."

When a woman called 911 complaining of difficulty breathing, my husband, Glenn, and his partner -- both EMTs -- rushed to her home. Glenn placed a sensor on her finger to measure her pulse and blood oxygen. Then he began to gather her information. "What's your age?" he asked."Fifty-eight," answered the patient, eyeing the beeping device on her finger."What does that do?""It's a lie detector," said Glenn with a straight face. "Now, what did you say your age was?""Sixty-seven," answered the woman sheepishly.

Snacking in the Future

The Col-Pop, an All-in-One Chicken Nugget and Soda Cup

The Col-Pop: emerging technology from South Korean fried chicken chain BBQ Chicken. Popcorn chicken rides up top; cola chills out below.
Proving yet again that South Korea is light years ahead of everyone else in fast-food technology is The Col-Pop. The nation that brought the world the spiral-cut potato on a stick and hot-dog-stuffed pizza ushers in a new era of snack portability with this mashup of drink cup and food container that holds popcorn chicken up top and a cold drink in the bottom.

The Col-Pop is the brainchild of BBQ Chicken, a South Korea–based fried chicken chain that has recently set its sights on worldwide chicken domination (though at this time, it only has locations in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina). From the looks of this container, on-the-go America will certainly eat it up. It's perfect for handy snacking while walking, driving, talking on the phone, or—as we discovered the other day—blogging.
And the genius doesn't stop at popcorn chicken. In South Korea, sister company BHC Chicken also offers spaghetti, french fries, and fried mozzarella balls in Col-Pop containers. The Col-Pops we inspected come in two sizes: small (20 ounce cup) and large (32 ounce).

The curious case of the handcuffed boy


Young boy finds mom's sex toys
A schoolboy turned to firefighters for help after getting stuck in a pair of handcuffs.
The eight-year-old was taken to Copnor Fire Station in Portsmouth by his grandmother on Sunday after finding the cuffs in his mom's bedroom.
Members of the Copnor crew reckons it's one of the strangest jobs they've seen. Green watch firefighter Dan French said: 'The little boy came to the fire station with his grandmother and had the cuffs hanging from one wrist.
Before we released him I asked if he was on the run from the police but he assured me he wasn't.
And then his grandmother said he'd found the cuffs in his mother's bedroom. She immediately realised what she'd said and put her hand over her mouth.
It's beyond my wildest imagination why someone would keep handcuffs in their bedroom. Mr French added: They weren't toy cuffs, they were proper hardened steel. The crew freed the boy with industrial metal cutters.

Drunk student eats key 'so he can keep partying'

Party-mad student Chris Foster ended up in hospital after swallowing his door key because he didn't want to end a drinking binge. Chris, 18, of Highfield Road, Southampton, had downed six beers, vodka and whisky at a friend's flat when he gulped down the Yale to avoid being taken home.

After spending the night on a pal's sofa he borrowed a spare key to get back into his accommodation. But the next day a nurse at Bournemouth University, where he is studying computer aided product design, told him to go to hospital as the key could obstruct his digestive system. Chris spent five hours in casualty at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, where staff X-rayed him, until the key emerged naturally - 31 hours after he had swallowed it.

Ann Grain from NHS Direct said the student had had a lucky escape. "It was obviously a very irresponsible thing to do," she said.Photos from here.
