Funny News Articles

Man Gives Up On Women

April 10, 2003 - Atlanta, USA
Atlanta native auto mechanic Michael Ross publicly declares that he has given up the life long struggle to figure out what women really want. This came after a recently published report estimating American corporations had spent over $1 billion dollars in 2001 to determine what want women want from their products and marketing, and had largely failed. "If combining rooms full of highly skilled experts and truckloads of money can't figure these women out, how on earth is the typical blue collar man with $28,000 after tax dollars a year supposed to?" said Mr. Ross during an interview with Atlanta news reporters. "It may be that these women themselves have no idea what they are looking for or what will win them over. Many admit to having the exact same qualities in one man be endearing, while in another, off-putting." Mr. Ross's web site has generated over 32,000 letters of support from other men in its guest book since his announcement earlier in the day.

Owner of Perfect House Lives in Car

September 18, 2002 - Baltimore, USA
In fear of possibly disturbing the perfection that is his house, Donald Manison has been forced to live in his 1998 Dodge Caravan. �I became obsessive, everything in the house was so photo-perfect that I was eventually scared of walking on the carpet in fear that I might disturb the direction of the carpet threads.� Magazines wanting a glimpse and photos of the perfect house were limited to viewing through opened ground floor windows. When asked how long he will continue his present lifestyle he replied, �If living in my mini-van is payment for a perfect house, I�m willing to pay.�

Elderly Man Sued for Stopping at Stop Sign

September 9, 2002 - Atlanta, USA
In a case possibly first of its kind, 67 year old Arthur Thompson is being sued by 32 year old Lynn Manaouski for stopping at a 4-way stop sign. In her statement she described how she came up to the intersection leading into her downtown condo, and rear ended the driver in front of her due to his 'complete and full stop'. She continues to say that of the almost 2 years of living in that particular condominium complex, she had not once been behind someone who had made a full stop at the stop sign, and that his inability to be 'consistent with typical driving patterns' caused the accident. As a result, she is convinced that Mr. Thompson is directly responsible for the accident and should be held accountable for all incurred costs of repair to both vehicles. When reminded that it is the law to make a complete stop at a stop sign, her abrupt response was "I am quite capable of deciding when it is a good or bad time to stop my vehicle."

Worlds Cheapest Tip

September 1, 2002 - Arkansas, USA
An Arkansas primary school teacher has been declared the worlds cheapest tipper after ordering more than $250 worth of food and drinks for his wife and self and leaving a 5 rupee tip. Rupee, an Indian currency, is worth approximately 0.02 of an American dollar. When questioned the man replied, "I had just returned from a trip to India and I had mistaken the coins for more valuable American currency." Relaying this to the offended waitress she responded, "His excuse is weak, since when would you be cracking out foreign coins (that do not even resemble American money) as a tip for a $250 dollar dinner? There is no way with a bill like that you would use coins to tip at the customary 10%-15%, and even tipping at something like 3% would still need bills. His tip wasn't even a percent!"

Man Sues Coffee Shop for Ice Mocha Mishap

August 26, 2002 - Michigan, USA
After spilling an iced coffee beverage onto his lap while driving from a local coffee shop drive-through a Michigan man is now suing the shop for $800,000 in damages and mental anguish. The man claimed it was a "traumatic experience" that has negatively altered his life in many ways. He claims that he was unaware of the frigid temperature of his Ice Mocha or he would have taken better precautions with handling the beverage. The coffee shop owner said during our interview, "Anyone who doesn't know the temperature of a drink that has the word 'ice' in its name has much more important things to worry about than a moment of discomfort due to his own negligence. He sustained no physical harm, there were no damages to his vehicle or possessions except a brown stain on his pants, which I am sure is something he is used to."

Man Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Female Manikin

August 19, 2002 - Georgia, USA
A man resembling a giant kid was arrested Thursday for sexually assaulting a manikin at a women�s fashion outlet store. Store clerks describe how the man made several trips past the manikin, and then went up onto the podium where he commenced to fondle the manikin�s breasts. When questioned about the incident, he said "I couldn't help it, she had the nicest set of [blip] I�ve seen in a long time."

Impolite Movie Goer Beaten To Death

August 12, 2002 - Michigan, USA
Movie enthusiast Brad Densley was admitted to the emergency room of a local Michigan hospital Thursday evening, and was later pronounced dead. This was after being brutally beaten in a movie theatre for answering his mobile phone during a pivotal moment in the movie's plot. Right away the whimsical monotone song the cell phone rang to immediately started people hissing and moving around in their seats. "As soon as I heard Jingle Bells from across the theatre in mid August, I wanted to hurt someone." said one audience member with a notable look of anger and hatred in his face. But when Mr. Densley then answered the phone, began talking pleasantries in an almost normal voice and proceeded to relay a shopping list to his wife, the audience went absolutely nuts. "It was when he started with the shopping list and he got down to the third item which was, I dunno, milk or something. I really wanted to stick that phone up his ass. Everyone started plowing over rows of seats to get to the guy and ring his neck, including myself." commented one person involved in the beating. "From the moment I saw him in the front lobby I knew he was an arrogant loser from his ill coordinated NY Yankees hat and LA Lakers t-shirt." Stated one man who was able to get a few kidney shots into Mr. Densley before leaving the theatre in disgust on Thursday. When interviewing the wife of Mr. Densley she stated, "This sort of thing has happened before and each time I was beyond embarrassed. But I never thought it would escalate from minor fist fights and kicking matches to the point where he looses his life. I am disappointed that the theatre staff looked the other way and did nothing to prevent my husband's death, with one usher in fact joining in on the beatings." Six men and two women were later charged and sentenced to appear in court, eleven others were issued warnings.

I have just reclaimed my DESK. After 3 years of keeping my 'old' computer on my writing desk, and having to work around it to pay bills and all that good stuff, I finally figured I hadn't turned it on more than twice in all that time and was only keeping it there 'in case' the new one, my friend made for me went South. So I unplugged, dusted, bagged, labeled and carried the old one to my storage cabinet in my pantry where it will reside, 'just in case'. Now I have less power drain for the modem, speakers, base unit, screen, etc. AND I managed to cut down the power strips from 3 to 1. How come I didn't do this before? I will never know. think

Penelope didn't want any grapes today. Ate just one and then promptly went to tearing leaves off my passion fruit vine and then went to the front porch to peck at the hedges. I think she needs some 'live' food. Hot a bit for the last 2 days so maybe she's in a bug mood.

Shorts weather, a bit humid (maybe 65 percent) not bad, but not our usual 10 or so percent we are used to.

Off to find breakfast, I wonder if Penelope's grapes are any good? rotfl


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Good morning boomies! Long fun day yesterday! 4 of my friends came two hours early so I was unprepared. And then the party grew when neighbors joined us and then their friends came. We fed a village. lol We had 6 big dogs here too. My two, my two grandpuppies and my neighbors lab and his akita/shepherd mix. At midnight the coyotes started to howl across the street and there was a ridiculously large amount of them. It sounded like a couple groups of a half dozen each. The dogs went crazy! Today I am tired and enjoying the quiet and working.

Nan, congrats!!! yay

Have a happy day all! I'll be running the dogs before it rains. Catch you all in a bit.

Haroula, same here. There is always someone who thinks they can do whatever they want no matter where they are and who is around. I hope it didn't cut your day short. Mousaka sounds delicious!

Serenity Sunday here. As for the beach garbage that happened to us in the late 80's. We took the children (5) to the shore in Delaware and 2 couples started performing behind us, so of course it was we who moved -they should have been shot. There were families everywhere.

Sailing along through Wolfenstein and Killzone 4. Not doing much else today

Happy Sunday all

Serenity Sunday, love that name!

We are all happily fed. Time to grab a book and head to the tub, followed by the bed. Sweet dreams all sleep
