HAHA. I HATED Algebra. I did find in geometry and calc but forget worthless algebra. I would like to calculate the speed of that car passing me light lightning, when I am driving 70ish
I have an incredibly dysfunctional family, and I want to take this moment to express my gratitude that the pandemic patiently waited until long after I was estranged from my family.
My gratitude is great as well. My family and a pandemic would equal death to someone
Load More Replies...As for their mental state......the jury is still out on that.
Load More Replies...Many of these signs may be funny for one person but not so much for another. However, according to experts, puns and wordplay automatically draw laughs because of how our brains are wired.
“The same words having dual meanings violates our understanding of language, causing incongruity,” neuroscientist and author Dean Burnett wrote in an article for BBC Science Focus. “But there are no harmful outcomes, and our brains not being relentless logic machines means we can accept two interpretations at the same time.”
I put a ridiculous sounding bell on my bike. The reaction from walkers is fantastic.
When biking past other bikers or walkers, you just need to say "On your right/left". Now, you'd think this would be universally understood, but nope. Some people are still taken by surprise when you whip past them.
If you notice this notice, you'll notice this notice isn't worth noticing.
I got the Bob Ross chia pet, now I have happy little trees whenever I please indoors. Not going to lie I do not regret the purchase.

The sign is real. I found the (very interesting) backstory: https://comartsci.msu.edu/about/newsroom/news/street-teams-student-helps-celebrate-100-years-michigan-state-parks-happy
Load More Replies...As Burnett further explains, humor is usually derived from things or events that are “surprising” or “wrong in some form.” However, there must be a resolution without negative consequences.
“Humor is essentially our brain going ‘This isn’t how things usually work… but I’m okay with it!’” Burnett summarized. “It may sound frivolous, but the neuroscience of humor is no laughing (gray) matter.”
I've heard "Smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana while I was in the dairy section picking up milk, talk about a surreal moment.

I would bow to our Canadian overlords. They're bound to better than what we have and are potentially headed for.
And affordable health care, and the Metric system, and lots more NHL and PWHL teams, and real gun control, and police officers who actually believe in protecting and serving...
Load More Replies...Actually can someone else take over please our leaders have driven our economy into the ground, it's to expensive to live here.
I had a similar sign at work because I worked maintenance. The office was extremely small, and I'm rather large. When seated at my desk with the door closed, if somebody with an extreme maintenance emergency (leaky faucet, popped breaker, etc.) just pushed open the door, I got the back of my chair (sometimes head) whacked by inconsiderate imbeciles that couldn't knock. Got permission from the boss to post the following on my door: WARNING! CURMUDGEON AT WORK! KNOCK FIRST, ENTER WHEN TOLD! NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISSING TENANTS! For those imbeciles who couldn't read, I kept a short length of foam pool noodle covered with wood grain contact paper so it looked like a small club that I would violently swing in their direction (no contact) to help enforce the knock rule. I retired some time ago but still stop by now & then. Sign is still up, and still strikes fear in the hearts of some tenants.
Let’s shift gears and talk about our sense of humor and how it affects the people around us. Self-deprecating humor, for one, makes a person more likable because it shows comfort in one’s own skin. It also has therapeutic benefits, according to author and educator Kendra Cherry.
“Gently poking fun at the things that bring you down can take the hurt and stress out of them,” Cherry wrote in an article for Very Well Mind. “It won’t make those challenges vanish, but it can make them easier to deal with.”
Am I only one that can't help but giggle when someone orders a fish taco? Or says "Let's play a round of Cornhole". Whole world is losing it's mind
Appreciate this sign in all its glory because the Feds have clamped down on humorous electronic signs, so these are now relegated to nostalgia and diminishing memory.
Until the odd one gets hacked. Then the fun begins again!
Load More Replies...Another sign reading "We have plenty of Fava beans and a nice Chianti" might be more worrying
Load More Replies...Well that's why you eat your victims. Come on, Hannibal Lecter got it right.
However, this type of humor has quite a dark flip side. Here’s an explanation from psychologist and professor Chloe Lau:
“Maladaptive humor styles are positively associated with negative psychological outcomes, including spitefulness, loneliness, sub-clinical psychopathy and Machiavellianism, and parental rejection,” Dr. Lau told Forbes in a 2022 interview.
Errr so Mark, Our Whack got stolen by some drunk aussies, It’ll be another 3-4 Business days.

Just maybe if this was universally accepted and used, maybe people would pay more attention to the traffic lights!
There was a great line in the Starman movie: "Red light means stop, green light means go, yellow light means go very fast". (For those who haven't seen the movie, this is spoken by an alien learning how to drive by watching a human)
Load More Replies...Driver goes through a yellow light just as it's changing to red, and is pulled over by a police officer who asks "Don't you know what a yellow light means?" "Sure" replies the driver, "it means you gotta drive like hell coz it's gonna turn red!"
And yet, you deteremined to go out and put your sanctimonious signs up - litter too. Double standards are twice as good.
Damn it, I thought they were going to send Robert Smith and Simon Gallup to my house
We compiled some self-deprecating jokes in a previous article. Check it out and maybe use it as a practice to not take yourself too seriously. Here’s one example:
“I just realized that my life can’t fall apart if I never had it together in the first place.”
'He is risen' - isn't that kinda old news? 'He is BAAAACK' - now that'd be news
great news. Shrek 5 was announced to come out in 2026. HE'S BAAAAAACK!
Load More Replies...They say he died for our sins, yet 3 days later, he gets up and leaves? I guess we didn't have that many.
When I don't wear one, all the wrinkles in my face & neck disappear.
Load More Replies...I don't wear a bra and don't care who notices. It's between me and God, and he's already seen me naked. He doesn't care.
Per definition bras aren't uncomfortable as long as they are in your drawer. Whether or not bras are uncomfortable does also not always depend on "good fitting and be prepared to pay"- (sorry Auntriarch, usually I agree with you) but also a lot on breast size. I have a G cup, am currently wearing the most comfortable and well-designed bra I ever had (NO underwire, how is that possible with my size omg and they look great) and these bras were dirt dirt cheap. Normally bras hurt simply because any time you try and support that much flesh hanging off your body the underwire and straps dig in- and that is just a fact.
Load More Replies...But i can't have mom-mask, ugly masks, and fancy masks. Unlike my bras
You can have ugly masks (those standard blue white single-use masks) and fancy masks (the fabric kind with flower or other patterns that you put in the washing machine). I'm not sure what mom-bras are, is it the bras that nursing moms wear, or the bra equivalent of granny panties?
Load More Replies...A woman will not likely kill me if she operates normally while not wearing a bra... Or is too stupid to wear a bra correctly. Frankly, a man won't either, or any other identification in the gradient. The mask however is rather essential to my immuno-compromised a*s!
You know, wearing a mask on your head is a lot less strange than wearing a bra on your head.
I took my 10 yo granddaughter on a cruise I won. Best decision ever. We had a blast.
This is why I don't enter contests. If I win a vacation trip, I sure don't want to bring anyone along that I know.
On the flip side, you have self-enhancing humor, or the ability to laugh at oneself. But, according to researcher Julie Aitken Schermer, this can also be a double-edged sword.
“People who engage in that type of humor can cheer themselves up by thinking about positive or funny events [and] experiences,” Schermer told Discover Magazine. “Beyond that, people who use self-enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of depression, loneliness, and poor relationships with others.”
If it's his mission is to clean nasty toilets everywhere, then he definitely has my gratitude. I've seen some rank a*s places that only a Superhero can save.
I honestly think the problems will start long before the lighter is on
I agree, biting into a squirrel is very rude
Load More Replies...Many tend to eat squirrels, especially cooked (a.k.a. on fire) bonus there are already in your mouth.
I feel like this is more of an autocorrect issue than a spelling mistake
I used a spell check for my English course work back in the late 80's - so before autocorrect - and got in to trouble for plagiarism. Being dyslexic and a poor a poor speller I was allowed to do use a word processor but when offered correct spelling choices I didn't always make the right choice. Turned out a few of the mistakes actually dramatically improved the work to the point the teacher did not believe it was my work. I was finally believed when it was pointed out I had also put the name Alien Mulch (not really that close to my actual name) on the paper.
Load More Replies...Having a liking for dark humor can mean two things, experts say. According to counseling psychologist Namratha Dinesh, it allows us to have a better handle on a serious situation.
“Research shows that dark humor enables the individual to assess the situation through cognitive reappraisal and convert the threatening circumstance into something easier to manage,” Dinesh wrote in a LinkedIn article.
what I see is that in a wheelchair you can make it to the bottom without falling??
I've gone through life with my hazards on giving people fair warning to either take notes or get out of the way.
I like my bacon browned but slightly squishy ... I know ... personal decision
Conversely, it could also mean having a dark personality. Psychologist Alberto Dionigi also spoke with Forbes, stating that people with these personality traits may use humor differently.
“Machiavellians, being unscrupulous and intimidating, may use humor as a means of manipulating others.”
In my case, shaving my facial hair. The look of horror on my little one's face lol.
My dad shaved his beard when I was about two apparently I screamed blue murder refused to believe it was him. He grew it back and still has it.
Load More Replies...My parents used to have a lot of signs like that in their bathroom. Like "occupancy of this room not to exceed 5000 pers" "no opium smoking" or "you're practising nautical activities under your own responsibility", "push", etc.... The people who bought their house after they passed away liked them so much that they still have a few of them posted in the thoroughly renovated toilets.
My office toilet had a sign over the toilet that said "do not drink".
drunkenness will impair your perception of how close something may be;
But regardless of what type of humor you’re into, we can all agree that laughter can be the best medicine. And in a literal sense, according to research.
A study by the University of Maryland revealed that laughing may help prevent heart disease. Researchers found that laughter’s ability to alleviate mental stress also prevented the impairment of the endothelium, a barrier that protects the blood vessels.
Take me with you please! You can just drop me off in the 80s
Load More Replies...While I know people are joking ( I hope so) - I am sick of scraping squirrels, cats, dogs of the street. A friend of mine almost got run over and another one was hit in her car by THE SAME GUY but he is not the only one barreling down my street at 65 mph while the speed limit is 25.
Load More Replies...I'm in Wales. 20 m.p.h is very common here. Most of the time, it doesn't really bother me because I'm driving while kids are walking to or from school and 20 is fast when phone zombie preteens have little road sense. However driving in the middle of the night on long road that doesn't seem to have any reason for anyone walking at any time, 20 is just wrong
You gotta start somewhere. Using turn signals would definitely reduce the world's anger level.
I would have given you 100 up votes if I could on this one, you are right on target, thank you!!
Load More Replies...Sign amended: And remember to turn them off instead of driving 15 miles with them blinking.
Using a blinker would be 1/1,000,000,000,000 steps closer to world peace
Turn it on before you get there. Don't wait until you are turning the car.
"The ability to laugh - either naturally or as learned behavior may have important implications in societies such as the U.S., where heart disease remains the number one killer," said Dr. Michael Miller, a professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Maryland.
"We know that exercising, not smoking, and eating foods low in saturated fat will reduce the risk of heart disease. Perhaps regular, hearty laughter should be added to the list."
If the wrong way sign is the wrong way, am I actually going the right way??
Nah, at kindergarten, they just change your pants and you keep on going!
this is an interesting coincidence a half ton truck just pulled over on the other side of the cul de sac, there were feet dangling from the passenger window, a piece of garbage (I think a take out drink cup) was tossed out. Music was playing, I went to see what was going on. There was some movement in the vehicle, people changing seats, changing clothes, 1 woman got out of the truck, walked to the rear of the truck, dropped her pants and pointed her b******e right at the license plate and left a puddle on the street. Pulled up her pants and got back in the truck. I guess she didn't want to wet herself and we all know there are no public washrooms anywhere in town. I did reach in my pocket for my ever present phone but it was in the house charging. I do hope she is not waiting to see a photo of herself on FB.
Just spill some beer on your pants. It works vertically or horizontally. Problem solved.

messages seem nicer when rainbows 🌈 and ❤ hearts are added .... you could add the words "bite me" and it would be okay
Yeah, a bit like any insult if you add bless their hearts
Load More Replies...Seriously. I see all kinds of hatred for hygiene. I know you're not required by law to wash your hands right now, but would it kill you to do so anyway?
Load More Replies...I am far, FAR too young to remember that dude :-)
Load More Replies...Notice how filthy those air blowers always are... Because there is no paper towels available to clean them.
Had a nasty housemate who was messy, did dr&gs, and was habitually late on rent. Since the lease was in my name, I spent two weeks telling them daily to move out, but they refused. So I waited until they left for work, changed the locks, and tossed all their possessions out the window into the alley. By the time they returned, banging furiously on the door, everything had been picked through.
I would stay well away from that. I don't know what "Spouse" is like, and everyone has guns in Am- the place this sign was located.
When PattyK turns up, just remember - we all understood. Which if I remember correctly, is the actual purpose of language
They're trying to be accommodating to English speaking tourists. Now imagine you're an expatriate living in a country that doesn't speak English. If you think that the locals should be more accommodating to you, you're in for rude awakening. It would behoove you to learn basic conversational language of the country before you set up shop.
According to LinkedIn, this is a legit funeral specialists business in Woodstock, CT, USA.
When I lived in Buffalo there was always the risk of getting stranding in a winter storm. We had a good supply of dry food and even canned tuna to eat in the car just in case, as well as an empty gallon container to pee into.
They mean put "The Distance" on the radio, Cake is perfect driving music ;)
Too cold in the northern hemisphere to run around starkers any earlier than that.
They get out of the way so you don't need to be informed about them.
Load More Replies...Fat people complain they are not thought of in society, well here is a sign that shows that is not true.
Sounds like something a driver sitting on a crate of burritos might say.
Do you mean they do not transport them, or they're not even holding one burrito? And are you absolutely sure?
Our drivers can barely take the stuff out of the truck disassembled correctly
According to the Irish Farmers Journal: Approximately 16m American adults think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, the Dealer is shocked to have learned. A study commissioned by the Innovation Center of US Dairy found that 7% of all American adults were of this opinion. ***Adults! Not children***
Load More Replies...You know, the first person to drink cow's milk didn't have a bucket....
Load More Replies...(In David Attenborough voice) And here we see a pair of toddlers In their natural habitat, fighting to claim the imaginary piece of ham.
So, is this a warning to the wild animals that there will be children?
That's not very nice to the animals. You could at least have phrased it "wild monsters/children". Animals don't smear nightcream on the television, or feces on the walls.
Beware of Charly Brown and his fierce dog Snoopy. And that Mystery gang with their wild dog Scooby Doo: he will eat anything.
Is this Finland? I think I've seen this bloke, half past eleven outside the supermarket in Levi
10 min walk to the pub. 55 min walk home. The difference is staggering!

Seagulls don't need feeding they just steal whatever you're eating. They are shameless.

I lived next door to this this movie theater and a tech on the roof whistled at me in a bubble bath. (I was on the fourth floor) Still chuckle about that.
Wait! Plastic? A real live plastic infinitely reusable straw? That's a bargain.
Finally! The perfect place to take my sister cousin for coffee and break the news
This place absolutely has a pizza cafe that’s actually deep state cover for Hillary & Q-Anon to sell stolen white babies who developed autism from the MMR vaccine to aliens at the edge of the world, who are colluding with Russian social media farms.
I have seen them have you merge left then switch it to the right lane using cones. My guess too lazy change the signage.
its like, they saying to wear shoes but it looks like its saying Razor fish wear shoes + do they?
Load More Replies...Yup. It's called the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm surprised it doesn't mention squirt guns, cocktail weenies and red hot candies.
Load More Replies...Oh...I have such amazing memories of going to the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show
hey, if they say to pronounce the 'g' as a soft g in GIF, then this sign makes sense. (I'm a hard-g GIF kinda guy)
Do I get to pick which one gets thrown back? ...of course I'm kidding ....or am I?
Ever notice how the people who take pride in their comedy or politics hurting other people's feelings are usually just bigots and ignorant fear mongers who pointlessly hide their hate in "jokes" and "edgy opinions?" As if to say, "I'm not stupid, you just can't take a joke." No one is laughing guys.
Ever notice how some people go through life looking for something to get offended about?
Load More Replies...Anything anyone says will definitely hurt somebody's feelings. Comedy is a good way to get enemies.
that sign isn't even mistranslated...the sign in chinese says ""strange juice'

I have to clean up after my dog, but people never clean up after their horses.
Although you can collect horse manure for roses etc. Not much you can do with dog poo except catch diseases...
Load More Replies...If my leg bent like that, horsesh!t would be the least of my problems
What are they feeding the horses that makes their poo break peoples' legs?
Long thin slimy ones, short fat juicy ones, itsy bitsy fuzzy fuzzy worms!
Load More Replies...I desperately want this sign to be in a town of people who take everything literally. ...oh...to be a fly on the wall there....
then don't call it a bathroom. if there's no bath, it's not a bathroom. the sign refers to toilets. it's okay to call them toilets (and as for RESTroom?! what are you on! that would be a bedroom, surely)
Damn, third shirt should have said Istanbul too. Now I've got that song in my head.
Oh boy, here we go...buckle up kids, these comments may get a bit bumpy.
Being a cat, I am not at all intimidated by crab meat. Neither is Audi. Maybe Shyla is. Soft can-openers are weird.
So are they annoyed about homeless people or about people having sex in the park?
Joke’s on them…I lie just as well standing up and I don’t need to hide in bushes to do so either.
If He's risen does that mean there's a way out of the dead end street?
Load More Replies...It reminds me of that cartoon where two aliens land on earth, get out of their ship and encounter a large crucifix with a statue of crucified Jesus. One says to the other: "You know what I think? Let's get the f**k out of here!"
Not quite. The Tesla symbol is the minimalist crucifix. Black-tesla-logo.png
is it no dogs ... or no dogs over 10 lbs ... or snakes over 10 lbs ... I'm confused
I don't understand how you are thinking it could be snakes over 10lbs when the word snakes is after that part.

This is a real sign, mainly because in Thailand and SE Asia, squat toilets are pretty common. Thailand-S...c93113.jpg
I recon that's the numbers by gender who have been caught speeding. But sexism is so prevent we assume it's about the speeds men are allowed Vs women.
