Everyone's a f***ing comedian.
Yep, you heard it, there's nothing like a bad situation to bring out the
Here are some things that I consider to be funny:
- silly images of cats performing human tasks
- a litter of puppies being menaced by a cat
- Harry Hill on You've Been Framed
- Old people trying to understand Bluetooth
Things that I fail to see the humour in include:
- 18 year old students called Tabitha, from the Home Counties, in stitches because their friend Araminta has taken seventeen temazepam and can't stop walking into walls and talking about penguins
- A drunk woman chuckling about her two year old boy who can only walk in circles and has "forgot all his words" since a garden gate fell onto his head at a family barbecue three days previously
- The babysitter who accidentally gave her 11 year old charge two tramadol for her period pain instead of paracetamol, and finds it endlessly amusing that the child in question keeps scratching her own nose and falling over
- The father who rubbed Karvol on his baby's face and was very entertained at the fact that "The skin is all red, like he's pissed or something!"
and finally:
- The mother who sat and watched her toddler drink the contents of a Glade liquid air-freshener, and giggled because "her breath smells exactly like lavender!" When asked why she'd allowed this to happen, she exclaimed "It's made of natural ingredients!"
I fear for the human race, I truly do!
Darwin had an angle on this......

I have "Oh Darwin. Where Art Thou?" written on the front of my KSF training file! :D

I actually thought the first one was funny, but maybe it's "just the way ya tell 'em"?

I reckon if you take the safety labels off things, the stupid people will eventually wipe themselves out. Unfortunatly, it seems they're stupidity also affects their children. It really does make you wonder..

Unfortunately there is a dedicated movement that is preventing the terminally stupid removing themselve from the gene pool.
This movement is the Health & Safety movement.
H&S is reversing all of Darwins work by ensuring that drowning in the deep end of the gene pool is becoming harder due to it's ever shallowing nature.

Hmmm... a fellow minion. Glad to see more of re-Direct's fortunate few on the blogging scene, telling the story from our side of the fence.

Hmm.. why did my other comment show up as being posted by 'Ax'? Weird guy. It is obviously I, the minion, who writes odes to Darwin on my training manuals!
MMW - Yep I retold it in a more amusing fashion, but hearing an 18 year old's "friends" laugh as she sinks into a coma is scary business! The real thing wouldn't make for good bloggage :D
