A Good Prank

I think a good prank would be to build a piñata around a wasps nest, then hang it on a tree in a public area where a lot of kids will be. Maybe you could leave a stick or a bat near the tree. Then just sit back and wait.

It's also a good object lesson--it will teach children not to touch a piñata that doesn't belong to them.

Why I Love Craigslist

Every now and then I like to browse the "free" category on Craigslist just to see what people are giving away. Today I found a post that I couldn't pass up:

"Two bags of things"


Naturally I rushed to contact the poster, but to my dismay both bags of things had already been claimed. This was truly a once in a lifetime chance, and I blew it.

Read the Fine Print

Late night commercials are a real treat. They offer miracle products at bargain prices. Take, for example, the Teeter Inversion Table. This home-fitness product makes some pretty amazing claims regarding its benefits. It will:

• Reduce back pain
• Provide care and feeding for discs
• Help you achieve movie-star style fitness
• Train core muscles
• Allow you finally ditch the wheelchair
  
• Add 25 years to your life
• Increase your sex drive
• Give you hair where there was no hair before
• Help you quit smoking
• Make your body odor smell like "Sweet Pear"
• Get you a promotion at work
• Improve your car's fuel economy
• Help you make new friends

...but that's when I saw the fine print every time a testimonial was played: "Extraordinary Claims. Individual results will vary." Well, at least they're being honest about it.

This is Leopardy...

...A terrifying twist on a game show classic.
